It's consumer level drives period. They all suck. I still believe Seagate sucks the least. It's like the GHz race, but GB instead. Quality suffers. Where I used to work a few years ago, we had about 30 CAD stations with WD IDE drives. By the time I had replaced 2/3's or so over the course of a year, I concluded WD sucks, and that IDE drives in general were just not reliable. I bought 2940U2W cards and 18GB SCSI drives for all the machines. Not one drive failure after that.
