Well harddisk makers are:

Seagate (who owns maxtor (who owns quantum), samsung, and lacie)
Toshiba (who owns fujitsu)
Western Digital (who owns Hitachi GST (who owns IBM))

So that's all there is.  Of course it is quite possible that a drive
labeled hitachi will be of a different design and from a different
manufacturing line than a drive that says western digital.  For now.

Personally I think the mixing of drive types is a load of crap. :)

I want my raid performance to be good and hence would like my disks to
match in model.
