Disk recommendations

[David Mason]

I'm going to move my boot and swap to a SSD and everything else from
my RAID1 to a ZRAID2 ZFS array.

The existing disks are 1TB and partly RAID, partly not.  When I'm
done, I'll have 3 or 4 TB fully RAID with 2 parity disks.  The truly
paranoid ZFS types like to have a diversity of disk manufacturers and
drives.  I know Lennart hates Seagate.  But this page:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Category/guidedSearch.asp?CatId=8&sel=Detail%3B17_35_20594_28669,Detail%3B17_791_47515_47515
has Toshiba, Samsung, and HP drives in addition to the WD-Reds that
I'm supposed to get (although they have Intellipower, I presume it can
be turned off).  Does anyone have opinions about those other
manufacturers?  Based on Tiger Direct's list, it looks like WD
pretty-much dominates the disk market these days.

Thanks for any help.
