I would avoid Maxtor, as they have a reputation of dying in <5 years.

I had 2 die on me last year, and they were around that age.

beyond that, I have only used IDE drives, so I can't recommend SATA.

brandwise though, WD has a decent reputation. Samsung are good, I just got a spinpoint today <3

and ... I used to be into partitioning ... but I'm keeping my 160 unpartitioned, mainly because data moving is quicker, as it's not really moving the data.
