Hitachi hard drives

I feel they're very reliable. Just as reliable as a Maxtor or WD. I think the days of their Deathstar hard drives are long gone.
 
They are wonderful drives, I have the 250GB one running at 3.0Gb/s for the last 6 months now, no problems at all.

Note: they come as a SATA150 drive out of the box. You need to go to hitachi's website and download the feature tool to enable the 3.0Gb/s (SATAII and 3.0Gb/s are not the same thing)
 
I would personaly not touch any HDD not made by segate or WD, i used many segate drives and WD ones and yet to have one fail on me, well except that factory fixed 500mg old segate drive 😛

Well, for the OP, I wouldn't worry about Hitachi's drives not being a WD or Seagate...if you want more basis of these drives being reliable, just know that Hitachi hard drives are based on IBM technology. Hitachi bought out IBM's line of hard drives a few years ago (I think a few years, maybe less) and IBM had been a solid drive maker for many years.
