Hello, I have not seen any extraordinary failure rates on any particular brand of hard disk drive in my department (dozen people, but lots of servers, notebooks, etc.). So far, good experiences with Hitachi (SAS), Samsung, Seagate and Western Digital on 3.5" HDDs, and with Hitachi, Samsung, Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital on 2.5" HDDs. Sample size may be too small to reveal any trends, though. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky At 01:38 PM 1/9/2010, you wrote:

It usually ends up being Seagate or Western Digital, typically because of decent price and availability. I have had mixed success (and failure) with both. Is there a vendor anyone has had consistent good results from? Matt Sent from my BlackBerry wireless device
