>From our experience here (several thousands disks around), the most
reliable large sizes at this moment are the Seagates. On top of that, they
run quiet and don't heat up. They come with 5 years warranty but the only
time we used it was when the disks were damaged in the mail.
Probably the best price per gigabyte is somewhere around 200 or 250GB.
I didn't see Seagates as absolute bargains, but their price is not
unresonably high either.
