I had similar problems with my Seagate 540 in OS/2.   Wanted another drive to
devote to Linux, so I did a little research.   I found SO many good things to say about the Wester Digital Caviar drives that the choice was easy.   I have
seen preferences for it in Linux related FAQS.   There is a company here in
Austin that does OS/2 pre-loads and support.   They love'em.   And now I can't
even here my WD accessing over my Seagate's constant whine.   There's my
2 cents.
