Western Digital has never let me down. I actually have a couple of 6 year old drives that still work as they should. I have had a return for the past 15 years and it has been fairly painless. To avoid the hard drive "religious wars" especially between Seagate and Western Digital, both will work for you. Yes, there are failures, and yes, both manufacturers have had runs that can let you down. In general, I was lucky that I became the standard for WD.
