I've heard of people having trouble with their Western Digital drives,
but I have had none, I've also extensively used Seagate, Maxtor and
Western Digital drives, all just fine. At the
price/storage/performance ratio of these drives, I would have to say
that Western Digital drives take an edge over the others (for
ATA-1x0), for S-ATA, I've no much experience with them... I have one
Seagate 120Gb S-ATA 150 drive working just fine.

- From other computers I've used, seems like Samsung drives are bit
slower than Seagates and Maxtors, and the fastest drives I've used had
been ATA-133 Maxtors (even beating S-ATA 150 Seagate drives), however
the one I own is ATA-100, so I can't comment much on that... Sadly
down here in Mexico the prices are a bit steep and I usually buy
Western Digital due to storage/performance/price ratio.
