I have to agree, the most reliable type of hard drive is "RAID array". 
I've had a software RAID1 array for four years now, have had several 
different brands fail (including Seagate, Maxtor and Western Digital) 
but have not lost one jot of data.

I presented a Software RAID1 HowTo using mdadm a while back at our local 
LUG, the notes are here:

Hard drives do fail, no matter which brand.
