Well, this is the second Hitachi laptop drive I've had fail suddenly in the last 3 years. (Hitachi Travelstar 4200 RPM 80GB In the docking bay of a Dell Inspiron 8200). This one was working fine yesterday, and kaput today. Laptop hasn't moved off my desk in weeks.

Any of you road warriors have any good recommendations for laptop hard drive vendors? Seagate, WD, Toshiba? I'm leaning away from Hitachi at this point...
