Egads, not me. I've seen more WD's (and Maxtors too) turn into bricks
than I care to. I have an IBM "DeathStar" DeskStar IDE drive in my
newest workstation at home. It's fast, but a bit noisy (it is a
7200rpm drive).

For SCSI drives, I've had good luck with both IBM and Seagates. The
high-end Quantums are OK, I've been bitten by several of the low-end
Quantums.

WD and Maxtor don't even make SCSI drives any more.
