I've had about 4 Maxtor and 3 IBM drives go bad in the past 3 years.

(a few were warranty replacement parts even)

no one blows up more hard drives than Dog!!

I too had probs with some older Maxtor; Seagates appear to be #1 now..
I also like Western Digital, as they are a bit less expensive than the Seagates...lots of cheap Hitachi stuff out there now also...

Me too. I haven't had any of my WD drives fail yet (knock on wood). As far as cooling, I think as long as the case fans do a good job, it shouldn't be too big of a factor. I have a WD 74GB Raptor and a WD 120GB SATA on one computer along with numerous other "eye candy" in the case and no heat problems so far.
