[ale] OT: Quality of current WD HDs?

[jeffrey.b.layton at lmco.com (Jeff Layton)]

Hello,

   I'm looking at buying a Western Digital HD for a root drive
on my home box. I'm looking at a simple 20 Gig WD200BB
drive (7200 rpm, 2 MB cache). I've heard horror stories in
the past, but I didn't know if there were any issues with
current drives. If anyone has a better recommendation, I'm
all ears (just ask my kids).

TIA,

Jeff
