What is best hard drive for Linux?

[Thomas H. George]

I just replaced a hard drive.   Thinking this a routine choice I bought 
the one with a big rebate,  namely Western Digital.  I wasn.t too upset 
that the installation CD was only for Windows and Macintosh but I was 
shocked to find the following message at the bottom of the installation 
instructions:

      Operating Systems Supported
      WARNING!
      Using an operating system not listed below could result in data loss.
followed by a list of Windows and Macintosh operating systems.

If I had known this I would never have purchased the Western Digital 
drive and, needless to say, I will never purchase another.  I proceeded 
to format it with ext2 partitions using my Debian CD's and have not 
noticed any problems.  Why would they say such a thing?  What should I 
buy next time?
