I think you missed the point... This is a good way to sum it up.

The issue with this question is that there are good drive models for a manufacturer and bad drive models.
For example, there seems to be a high failure rate for the Seagate 1tb & 1.5tb drives, but their 250gb & 320gb drives are solid*. Yet the Western Digital 1tb, 1.5tb, & 2tb drives seem more stable, but there have been issues with their 500gb drives*.
The answers to this question should address more of the good drive models, not the actual manufacturers themselves.

Brand or model really has nothing to do with failure rates. Anyone with 1TB of data they don't want to lose certainly shouldn't be putting their faith in a brand name.
