We all have our own patterns of experience, often much different from each
others. Personally, I've only bought WD drives for home for many years, as
long as I had a choice. I've never regretted it. Others have been burned by
WS, or Seagate, or other you can name. I just know that in my experience,
both at home and work, WD has always been by far the most reliable.

if I can recreate this problem for the Acronis tech support folks without
going through 13 DVDs.
FWIW my son (who now works for Best Buy on the Geek Squad) had major
issues
with the WD external I gave him for XMas a few years ago, and he found
that the
WDs commonly had problems due to an inadequate power supply. Once he
removed
the drive from the case and plugged it in directly, it worked fine.
Maybe the modern ones are better.
