There isn't a drive manufacturer on the market that hasn't had their share of bad drives!
I've had extremely good luck with maxtors, and poor with WD, and then the tables turned!
I remember purchasing WD drives from wal-mart, only to return them because the did not contain a drive,... or a week later, the drive died!
I've recently switched back to WD, as I feel they are now better than maxtor of 4-5 years ago.
I've also owned seagate, fujitsu, and IBM drives.
I've had zero luck with IBM drives! IBM used to be considered the best!
The point here is that things change, and will continue to do so.
