Interesting article. In my experience (and I work on 4-8 computers a day), the most reliable are the WD Black series, followed by Hitachi, and Seagate third.
Of course, many failures I see are due to people letting their computers overheat (or poorly engineered cases that don't properly cool components) and impacts.
But on machines that don't appear to have external events affecting the drive, I see a lot fewer failures on WD than I do on Seagate. I don't see as many of other brands out there - probably because I don't see a lot of enterprise series drives.
