Just past experience.  I bought (a long time ago) a 100MB Fujitsu.  It
was slower than a snail in treacle.  I swapped it for a Seagate and it
still works.  We also had a 400MB Fujitsu at work and it began losing
data (cross-linked files, then bad sectors - really bad sectors).  We've
had the same problems with several Maxtor disks as well, but these were
likely from the same batch (4 out of 7 machines bought at the same time
had the same problems within months of each other)

Everyone is likely to have seen these sort of problems with all
manufacturers; I simply stated those which I would buy.
