I have owned all but Seagate, and WD has been the most reliable for me.

Keep in mind that IBM drives are now labeled as Hitachi.

I have a Hitachi disk right now, it's nice except that it makes some annoying noise.
I won't comment on the reliability because I've only had a few hard drives ever and to draw any conclusion from my own experience I'd need to have experience with much, much more disks. One broken disk - or a few that worked - wouldn't really prove anything.

Definitely Maxtor. I can't speak for current WD drives, but I've had nothing but trouble out of their drives in the past.

I had a WD crash on me before years and years ago, so I had been using Maxtors (very pleased with them), but I can't knock my WD Raptors, so WD got my vote.
