This is the only publicly published information that's even slightly relevant (AFAIK): http://research.google.com/archive/disk_failures.pdf http://research.google.com/archive/disk_failures.pdf. It doesn't mention any manufacturers by name, but you should be able to draw some inferences from the paper. I'm not sure that the information would be all that valuable anyway. Google's data-center environments, workloads and requirements are likely pretty different than your environment and requirements, so I'm not sure how the information would be useful?
