In general, I think most internal drives are relatively equivalent these days. You'll always hear horror stories about every drive... I lost a Samsung a few months ago, and have lost a number of Seagates, but I've never lost a WD; others would insist that WD drives are the worst ever and Samsung's are perfect; some say Seagate is the only way to go.

So - no, no real recommendation, alas.
