I've pretty much had good experiences with Western Digital drives. I've owned several from 540 megs up to my current 40 gig in the linux box. Guess I've been lucky with the way everyone else seems to have problems with them. *knocks on DLT drive*

I'm trying to remember the brand of drive that I did have some odd sector 0 errors with. It was a smaller one, so it hasn't been important to try and fix.
