hehe well i forgot what model it was that earned that nickname. it certainly was exceedingly crappy LOL and i think it even contributed to IBM selling the hdd division to hitachi many years ago
as for HDD reliability this is a complex topic coz in order for anyone to make any sense in this discussion your sample size has to be pretty big. otherwise the claim is statistically insignificant
around 5yrs ago i worked as a sysad for a fairly large organization. WD drives seem to have had higher than average failure rate at that time
right now i still have one WD black, it's a good drive and i have some confidence in it. but for more important stuff i put them on a Cheetah SAS server drive, they're simply a lot more reliable than "desktop" drives
