Being a computer buff from way back, I have used and abused most of the hard drive offerings from all the hard drive manufacturers. As well as working for an IT Support company for a number of years I had the displeasure of receiving a steady stream of small cache servers which use the same domestic model hard drives, the same hard drives that you and I would buy, of which all came in due to hard drive failure.
So I’ll give a best and worst list based on my experience of hard drive performance, reliability and longevity.
Best Hard Drives 
2. Seagate
Worst Hard Drives
1. Maxtor
2. Samsung
3. Hitachi
Overall ‘Western Digital’ hard drives win in all areas hands down, they run cooler, quieter, last longer and perform better than all other hard drives on the market today, and they have done this for some years now.
Granted they can be a little more expensive, $6-$22 depending on hard drive capacity. But the extra spare change you spend is well worth it considering you will have no hard drive sizing issues (Seagate) and you will have a much greater lifespan with Western Digital than with any other hard drive.
Western Digital hard drives provide a Three Year Warrantee with its mid range (Green) hard drives and a Five Year Warrantee with its performance hard drives.
Only a few months ago I had a pair of Western Digital hard drives fail on one of my computers, but only after Seven Years of dedicated and torturous service.
Therefore if you are looking to add some storage capacity to your computer or you are forced to replace a hard drive due to failure or you’re considering purchasing a custom or off the shelf computer.
Make sure you get a high quality storage solution by insisting on Western Digital hard drives.
