Well, I've seen them all die.  I've had every single brand I have ever
seen have atleast some sort of fault.  Newer quantums, I haven't seen
problems, except their IDE drives.  In one machine, I had three fail, in
two different systems.  Seagates SCSI drives have "issues" when booting
off an SS4.  If you ask me, I think all hard drive manufacturers could
stand to improve everything.  The only brands I really trust are IBM, and
Compaq.  IBM, I've only seen just one drive have a few bad sectors, but
the thing just continued to kick on, and the drive was over 10 years old.  
Compaq, only two drives, but Compaq will replace them, at their cost,
including shipping, which is only right.  Just my opinion.

John Havard
