WD 80GB 7200rpm drive

I've heard almost only bad things about Western Digital.

------------------------------
Apple? Macintosh? What are these strange words you speak?

I've had nothing but Western Digital- never had one problem... There was a 4.3GB drive they made a few years back that failed after a year- it hurt WD pretty bad. At the time I worked for Gateway at the time and we were getting a mad number of calls regarding hard disk failures. It really sucked.

BTW, Gateway guy, I have an anecdote for you.
A friend of mine worked for a very large company. They ordered a few hundred PCs from Gateway. When the PCs arrived, some were fast, and some were really slow, DECELERATED it seemed. All were the same, same speed processors, same amount of memory, same size harddrives. They realized however that half of the HDs were Maxtor, half were WD. Needless to say, the next day Gateway was shipping them more Maxtors.
I guess if you've always used WDs then you'll be perfectly happy with your drive. But if you ever get a different brand, let's just say:
