amp's right, when you're running a good raid 5 setup or something like that, just as well go cheap and large.
i've been looking at dropping some samsungs in a machine because they're ultra cheap.
i've been very lucky with hard drives, not one of my _personal_ hard drives has ever died. *knock on wood*.
hard drives are a poor storage media in general. if you have raid 5, just swap them when they die and move on with life. for as cheap as you can pick up a samsung 160gb, 12 months is plenty of use out of it.
