It's hard to keep track of who is actually making hardware these days.
As far as hard drives this is true. Fujitsu and Maxtor were well considered back in the day and Seagate was vilified, but Seagate has gotten a lot better and has an excellent warranty. I know Western Digital gets good marks but I believe Seagate's warranty is better. All of it is made in China or Indonesia. It is a commodity product. That doesn't make it bad, it's more about what is quietest and what has the better warranty. I've had good luck with Seagates. I haven't run any terabyte drives but I would suspect that right now that's pushing the envelope no matter who makes it.
