Typically, I buy Crucial or Samsung SSD drives.  I've never had issues with
either, and do know that most enterprise systems use Samsung SSDs.

On the spinner front, HGST is the best.  They are now Western Digital Gold or
Western Digital Ultrastar Enterprise drives.  I only buy the Ultrastar
Enterprise drives for large arrays for home.

The Ultrastar drives have a 5 year warranty, which is fantastic.  I had bought
several used Ultrastar drives on Ebay that were still in warranty - and a few in
the batch ended up being bad with bad sectors or failing tests (I think they
were damaged somehow). Either way, Western Digital replaced them in warranty
with no issues.
