We initially bought three Western Digital 120 GB PATA IDE drives for the Linux machine, and one of them failed after a few months, so we bought a couple Western Digital 120 GB SATA drives of the same size to add redundancy. One of them died several months ago, and another of them (or the replacement) died last month. They were all under warranty fortunately, so we replaced them for only the cost of shipping. Instead of giving us a new 120 GB drive, they provided a 160 GB.
Needless to say, I've been disappointed with the reliability of these Western Digital drives.
