I have been using Western Digital drives with Linux for a long time. None of them exhibits any sort of problem. One is a 3.1GB drive I've had for 3 years. Another is a 4GB drive I've had for 2, and a 10.1GB drive I bought last fall. I doubt its Linux causing the problems... Actually, I've never had trouble with WD drives on any machine -- Seagate and Quantum are the ones which have taken a crap on me.
