I don't think there are bad HD manufacturer's out there, it's just luck of the draw, and how intensively you use the disk. What I tend to find kills and HD, is poor power supplies (voltage) and other stuff that is nothing to do with the HD itself

Western Digital Raptors at 10,000 RPM are great if you want the extra RPM that might enable you to read that file just a smidge quicker than the standard 7500 RPM SATAs. But that speed boost comes at a price, and my one, at least, is a tad rattly when working.

For general use, I've had Seagate drives for years without mega issues, as well as Fujitsu, and Western Digital.
