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?!?!]
Er, All my Segate Hard Drive are still fine after many years, plus Segate offer 5 years warranty on their Hard Drive. Afterall, it's about your luck if you pick a good one or not.

P.S. Samsung is actually merger of many Korean company, they are very sucessful indeed.
