Which HDD to get?

[psm360]

I am going to buy a HDD for my new build, it is to be 1TB 7200RPM.
My main concern is warranty.
I am getting a Hitachi Deskstar 1TB 7200RPM at $92 with 3 years warranty from a shop. Price looks fare to me.
Now question is, I never tried Hitachi HDD, if in future drive fails will they replace it with a new one or will they send a certified repaired drive like Seagate do?
I dont want to buy Seagate because of a horrible experience with seagate.
I personally prefer WD as they last longer, I heard WD replace failed drive with a new one, is it true?
Which way should I go?

Hitachi was merged into WD, so if the hitachi drive failed, you would get a WD by chance. Seagate merged with Samsung

do western digital replace failed drive with new one or a certified repaired/ refurburished drive?

kindly answer my Q about WD
how is the reliability of HGST Deskstar 7K1000.D HDS721010DLE630?
Many people made bad comments about its reliability on new egg.

hey what about Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"?
it is also single platter 1TB HDD, performs similar to Hitachi
