What's your favorite brand of internal drive?
_________

For a favorite brand...I decided about a year ago to track the most commonly failed brand of drive and one year later I haven't seen any one drive failing more than any other.  So frankly I usually just purchase whatever is on sale from newegg at the time.  

This is very different in terms of enclosures however.  I have seen a tremendous failure rate in MyBook drives from western digital.  But it's no the drive that dies, it's the enclosure.  My favorite external drives are the G drives followed by the Lacie drives.  But every drive dies so it's only a matter of time.
