I always use and recommend WD drives. I have Cavier Green's in my desktop.

Interesting article thanks for sharing.

In a server situ is the cost difference worth it, if you have full RAID?

You could either way.

I use Seagate for all, slightly concerned lol, I'll have to replace the tsi drives

I find a huge amount of Seagates that fail, especially in DVR's.

In fact I think I can say every disk failure I have seen has been a Seagate.

Had a <12 month old Ademco DVR with a Seagate start rattling last week.

Remember the floods a while back and HDD prices rocketed, only Seagate where producing disks at the time.

I had a load of wd drives fail a few years ago. I used to like Hitachi but have used Seagate for some years now.

I have about 20 or 30 of old 250gb IDE Hitachi Drives that failed in DVR's. They still work so I am loathed to throw them away. I used a couple to store some handy backups of stuff on theyre fine for that sort of thing, I just cant rely on them for any important or DVR's. I like Seagate but WD have been reliable so far

I use Seagate Pipelines, they are the drives Sky use in their STB
