Never liked WD, and that HUGE recall they had almost put the company I worked for out of buisiness.
I've gone with Seagate and have been very happy. But I don't know the difference between the IV & V as I haven't needed a new drive lately

Seagate basicly took the Cudda IV and improved it a little in every way for the Cudda V, plus they use 60GB platters now some it tops out at 120GB.
Very happy IV user on this end, Got the drive to replace one of the last reliable IBM's made, the noise diff was shocking at first. Being used to the grind of the IBM when i pluged the Seagate in the first time i thought it might be broken cause it was so damn quiet. I've really grown attached to it though, and sleeping in the same room as my comp has become much more plesant.
FYI the drive does 24/7 heavy duty as a file server, My HDD light stays on almost as much as the power light. It hasn't given me a single hicup in almost a year of this torture. Still as quiet as the day out of the box and very cool running, only 44C from the internal sensor in a location with poor airflow (Its spec'ed to go up to 60C so im not worryed)
