RE: [OT ish] Disk drive manufacturers

["Phillip Harris" <phil@xxxxxxx>]

I've had no actual problems with failures on WD drives but I have found
that they can be finicky about what drives you pair them up with on the
same IDE bus.

For instance I've had some real problems getting Western Digital and
Seagate drives working together as master and slave but never bothered
spending the time investigating why.
