No, get Western Digital. I've been building/repairing computers for years now and I've seen many failed harddrives (mostly Quantum, Seagate, and Samsung).

While SeaGate has vastly improved in reliability, you should still spend the extra $5 and buy proven quality (Western Digital). Maxtor is nearly as good as WD, but imo they have lesser life expectancy.

[I do like Samsung for everything else though: Memory, CD-rw, DVD, etc. Who knew that a Microwave maker would take over the memory industry?!?!]
