Just at the moment be very careful with Seagate drives (7200.11 and BS), 
500, 750, 1000. Oh, and Maxstor.

We have had a batch with bad firmware which has been a complete PITA 
sorting out.

They are reported to occasionally die on startup. Has not happened to us 
but neither am I prepared to risk it.
