I have about 5gb all up of external Western Digital drives, purchased over the past 4 or so years, used for primary and backup purposes, and all have been perfect, no problems, I payed a fortune for a triple interface Lacie drive a while back, and when it died and I pulled it apart to find that it was actually a Maxtor drive! (*Not my pic, but proves the point.. http://scottspain.com/og/LaCie_dead.jpg)... If I had have known I was paying top dollar for a pretty case with a Maxtor drive inside, I never would have got it in the first place!! I lost a lot of trust and respect for Lacie after that and have since never bought another.. I like to know what I'm paying for. As for Seagate, I can't comment, as since I went to WD and haven't had a problem, I haven't needed to try another brand... Avoid Lacie tho, unless your into paying for pretty cases with sh*t drives inside...
HP's Jon Rubenstein told us that his company wanted to veer in a new direction, and veer it surely did -- the HP Veer 4G will arguably be the smallest fully-functional smartphone on the market when it goes on sale May 15th.
