Western Digitals used to be horrible back in 1994-1998 when I had two
disks die on me, shortly after having been bought.  Three of the major
resellers here in Patras, recommended that I avoid Western Digitals
because they had started getting tired of returning disks.

I bought a few Quantum disks since then, but I now have no problems
with my 45 GB WD450AA-00BAA0 drive.  It has worked flawlessly for more
than the 3 year warranty period, and has never, not once, given me any
sort of problems :)
