Same advice as ever. Get different drives from different manufacturers,
and RAID them together as appropriate (I use RAID1, YMMV). I don't
really think there are particular manufacturers to avoid, but AFAIK,
Seagate are still the only major drive maker offering a 5 year
warranty, so that might be worth paying a bit extra for.
