Yeah; I always use WD Caviar/Scorpio Black drives for customers (when their old HDD has died); unless they are on a budget and can't spend the extra $20-$30. 5 year warranty, great performance, better mechanics, and yeah, just an awesome HDD overall.

Yeah, Seagate used to offer 5 year warranty on ALL their hard drives, but it was shortened to 3 years to match WD. I think 3 years is pretty good coverage. No decent HDD will die in 2 years anyway, but if there are any problems, it usually shows before 3. Oh well, my credit card extends the warranty by a year anyway.
