Personally I won't use anything other than Western Digital Black drives.

+1. I'm a huge fan of WD Caviar Black drives.

I have been buying WD Black drives. After the Thailand floods, most companies cut their warranties back, some to as little as one year. The WD Black drives afaik are the only consumer-drives to have retained a five year warranty.
Of course, ANY drive could arrive DOA, if only because of shipping abuse, but other than one such DOA (quickly replaced), none of the WD Black drives I've bought over the last couple of years has failed.
I also have a pair of slower 2TB Seagate "LP" (same type as WD "Green") drives in a RAID1 that is coming up on two years without a hitch.
