Fujitsu seems to be the quiet one that nobody seems to have much experience 
with (at least not myself or any that I know). They make very reliable (and 
very slow) motherboards, and make some nice, big servers (at least I think 
it was Fujitsu that makes a SPARC64 server with > 100 processors, one of the 
most powerful servers in the world)

Does anyone have any BSD servers using Fujitsu drives? Any comments  about 
them?
