What's interesting is which brand of disks are inside Lacees :p. For instance, I've found three different brands of hard drives inside various Packard Bell external drives. Sometimes even the exact same model of external drive. :p
But in truth Clout, neither of us have used a statistically significant number of disks over a prolonged time, and anecdotal evidence is pretty useless :p.
And for laptop storage space upgrades, just make sure you buy a good laptop. By that I mean a laptop that has a free HDD slot. 2.5" drives aren't really that expensive, and you'd get far more than 100 GB for 1000 dollars with those too. Although, laptops suffer the same problem as external hard disks; lots of being throwed around and tilted and moved and put in backpacks. So a hard drive in a maltreated laptop would be just as bad off.
