I haven't had many problems with Western Digital, but the one's I've had have
been catastrophic.  _Two_ of them crashed Egypt-Air style a few years ago, for
no obvious reason.  I don't know if the drives killed the MB or vice versa,
but I ended up replacing all three.

There's a currently recall on a variety of WD drives.  Let's just say I'm
reluctant to buy WD these days.  I buy IBM at work, and Maxtor for home.
