I'm still sad they off'd Samsung drives... Loved them but other than those it's WD. I've only ever had 1 WD drive fail and it was a 640 aaks Black drive and failed 2 days after warranty...

Pretty sure that was my fault as it was part of a Dual boot and I plugged in the power but forgot the Sata cable and the drive spun full speed for how long? and started squealing (it was hot and mounted sideways). I ended up reformatting the drive and using it for almost 2 years after that and one day it just died out of the blue no warning no noise... was surfing the web at the time.

WD drives have been very reliable to me and I've only bought the 5-year Black Editions... My media server has WD Black and Samsung F1 drives...going on 6 or 7 years now.
