It is really rare that I have a drive to go out. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I have owned dozens of drives over the years. The only reliable brands
that I have used are Western Digital, IBM and Seagate.
I have tried Maxtor three separate times. Twice the drive failed
withing three months, and in both cases, the receipt magically
disappeared with the box that *somebody* threw out. The last drive in
just over one year (not willing to mail it in for the return of $40 ...
lots of important data that needs cleansing first). I swear to GOD that
I will NEVER buy another Maxtor!

Seagates are awesome ... 5 year warrantee to boot!
