Unfortunatly I havent used it yet. But I'm sure it's solid.

Seagate owns WD btw.

Anyway, Seagate has been known to be very very good. I remember my Pentium 75 machine had a 1gb seagate, it worked for6 years without a problem =O (at which time i threw it out). According to recent reviews, Seagates are rather slower than WD/Hitachi/Samsung, but they are quieter than the WDs. Hitachis and Samsungs are quiet AND fast, but they cost more (atleast here in canada they do).
