The models that I have are:

6x WD ELEMENTS Desktop 2TB
2x WD Desktop 1TB

and in the next days I will buy my 7th WD ELEMENTS Desktop 2TB.

Damn and I thought I had a lot of drives. My dream is digitize my entire collection and do away with all my dvds. That way everything will be on demand. Get a large NAS and put everything in a RAID configuration for redundancy.

I've thought about doing that also (upping all shows to HDD). Easy access, saves on upload time, plus I can store away all the DVD/CD cases I have lying around. I'll still probably have a physical disc copy of all shows as back up but it just seems like this sort of set up is the way to go in the near future.

WD elements 1TB

I'm quite satisfied. I believe there are no psychical damages yet, after 3 years.

WD 1 TB internal
WD 2 TB external

Basically I'm storing all my Foo Fighters and Metallica lossless audio, the HD master files of my own recordings, and Metallica dvds what I've downloaded in the last one or so year (I haven't bought any dvds since then).

1TB Seagate & WD
1,5TB Seagate & WD
750GB Seagate

I'm stick to Seagate HDDs for ages and none of them ever failed me (working at least 8hrs/day), even 320GB Seagate HDD I bought 7-8 years ago still working great.

Is it just me or is Maxtor one of the worlds worst harddisk manufacturers?

Yes, it's only you

I have Maxtors since day one, if it wasn't hard to find I'd have bought another one, otherwise - seagate.
