I was just reading about hard drives in a tech magazine and the highest rated were Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi. Currently i'm using Western Digital hard drive and so far it's working fine for me.

I would suggest you to go for Samsung hard drive, as it gives you around three to five years warranty. If any things happens to the Samsung hard drive, it gets replace very soon as Samsung service centers are found on a large scale.

Hard disks can fail at any time. There is no assurance they won't fail in a week, a month, a year or five years. The best you can do is get one with a long guarantee. Some drives come with one-year warranties, some with three and some with even five.

If the length of the warranty is important to you, I would recommend you get an external enclosure and a hard disk purchased separately. That way, you can select the disk that has a warranty that satisfies you.
