But I've been reading about the WD360, the 10,000 RPM Serial ATA drive. It
benches right along with a Quantum Atlas Ulta160 SCSI drive in througput and
seek time. I really want to try this drive out, but I'm worried about
reliability. I have heard of at least 5 incidents over the past couple
years of Western Digital drives crapping out after less than a year in
service. Me and a couple friends have been staying away from them for this
reason. Has WD made their drives reliable again or was it a fluke to start
with?

Just the usual mindless stuff. That happens with any
drive manufacturer. And most of their drives dont fail.

Yep. The technical term is 'pathetically inadequate sample'
