Seeing as how this storage forum hasn't had some activity for a while, let's drum up some interest by seeing if anyone here has a loyalty to a certain hard drive vendor, and if so, why?
Personally, I started out as a Western Digital guy, but then I ran into bad issues with two drives in a row (I don't recall which ones, but this was back when 4GB hard drives were the norm), so then I moved over to Seagate, who I've stuck with since. I've ran into one problem with Seagate's drives before, which isn't too bad since I've had plenty. Their RMA process was painless and fast, so I've felt rather comfortable on this side of the fence.
I've been hearing great things lately about WD though, and their drives are looking really sweet. Anyone have experience with their RMA service?
