What brands/models do you prefer???

so, looking a bit more at HDDs got me to researching reliability issues a bit

Seagate didn't do too well in the review
( man, I used to like them a lot.. )

a google labs paper from USENIX's FAST 07 conference:
http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf 

they don't want to mention brands tho..

so, what do you prefer?

thanks
