Anyway, these days I find myself going almost completely by price, as long as it isn't my main drive. Anything valuable is backed up, and anything that isn't is just a minor annoyance when/if it's lost.


Here in the UK I go by "who offers an advance-replacement warranty". Currently only Samsung AFAIK.

I figure that most of the errors are a few bad blocks and usually part of a RAID - I want the replacement drive around before I pull the failing disk and do a ddrescue on it.
