From what I've heard Western Digital is a good brand. I use maxtor drives myself I think, but then I never buy anything for my computer.

Seagate is pretty good as well I believe.

Western Digital a good brand? Z might find that funny.

I'll definately look into the other two though.

All 5 within 1-2 years, or 5 with 1-2 years each?

Anyway, I don't plan on picking up another Western Digital. If this one's going dead after just one year I don't want it.
