Go with Seagate. Seagate and Maxtor = same company.

WD, Samsung, Toshiba, Fuji (am I missing any) = another company.

Seagate makes all their own parts and heads while the rest of them buy their parts from TDK. So basically, you just have to ask yourself - do you want to buy Seagate parts or do you want to buy TDK parts.....

The correct answer is Seagate.

I primarly use seagate in all of my systems, except for my laptop, I picked up a 320gb wd scorpio black... but that is about the only time that I didnt purchase a seagate.

I have been a fan of theirs since the first time a bought a 9.1gb u160 cheetah drive. 

I do have to admit that the seagate name has kind of gone down hill a little bit, but they still make the most solid drive and one of the best warrenties on the market! (Also the customer service is very good imo)

I had a Seagate 7200.10 drive fail recently. I had everything backed up so it wasn't a big deal. Seagates replaced the drive though, love that 5 year warranty. 

If I was buying a drive today, I would get a WD.
