Looking for a good SATA hard-drive for a server.

As usually I am about to hit up newegg but wow... although I do not take newegg reviews too seriously it seems though alot of hard-drives (seagate and wd) are getting bad feedbacks in the last few months. I'm talking about the last 50 feedbacks are nearly all 1 egg review.

I also heard the seagate 500gb AS series 32mb cache are now made in Thailand instead of China and the quality took a dramatic fall. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
I see a shell shocker banner ad from NewEgg for $100 shipped WD 1TB drives.

Price is good I think. Someone else might chime in to say how good the drive is...
 
I wouldn't take newegg reviews too seriously. People are far more likely to complain if they have a problem than if their product works rather well. I used to have a dozen of the Seagate 500gb drives and didn't really have too many problems with them (one did die though, but that happens, so I wasn't too worried).
