In my opinion, WD HDs are the best. I've been using WD since.....since....EVER! Never once did it fail me. The only time is did fail was that one time the PC dropped 3 feet onto the ground, it was on too.. Luckily it was a test PC, P3 system. But other than that, I can say I've used around 5-7 WD HDs, never failed me. LONG LIVE WESTERN DIGITAL!
