I have had both brands fail, but prefer WD. Most were under warranty and the failure was gradual enough that I did not lose any data. I do not think I ever had a warranty replacement drive fail. In fact I have two drives (including one that was warranty replacement) on a Linux server in my basement that have been running 24/7 since May 2003 (other than shut down during a few long power failures) and currently has not rebooted since 2012 (WDC WD300AB-00BVA0, WDC WD205BA):

efflandt@realhost:~> ls -l /var/log/boot* -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2003-05-17 18:03 /var/log/boot.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22020 2012-11-11 00:14 /var/log/boot.msg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22020 2012-07-20 13:17 /var/log/boot.omsg

Shortest life was a Maxtor drive that came in a Seagate box at a time that I thought was before the Seagate/Maxtor merger. It must have had some dirt in it because it started showing bad sectors within a month after purchase. The 1 TB Seagate drive in my current PC purchased in 2010 began failing after 3 years. It now has a WDC WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0 besides INTEL SSDSA2M080G2GC.

Drives are most likely to fail when data is written to the last 1/4 of the drive where it is trying to store the same amount of data on physically smaller sectors towards the center of the platters.

Go with Toshiba/HGST hard drive, they're by far the best hard drives I've ever used.
Had several WD drives die on me (and no they weren't WD Greens) the only recommended WD drives are reds and blacks which are terrible for the price per GB ratio

My buying preference will be Toshiba/HGST > Seagate > WD

I've heard great things about Toshiba

3.5 Toshiba drives are Hitachi rebrands, their 2+ TB HDDs are great for the price.

I actually meant to say Hitachi, my bad. Toshiba's still irrelevant for the most part
