I have one WD Caviar 250 mb, and two WD Caviar 1.6gig.  All run
Linux.  No problems.  These drives are Q.U.I.E.T.  Barely hear
the motor, and just gentle clicking when reading or writing.  In
contrast there is a DOS/Windows Maxtor 170 mB, and you can hear the
whine and screech all over the house.  However, it hasn't failed yet.

All my Seagates except the last have died, so I don't consider them
anymore.

WD now goes up to 2 gig and beyond on IDE drives.  Prices are very
good on NECX check out http://www.necx.com.
