Oh please. So when an item goes on sale, is discounted, cheap or etc it is not as good quality as others?
You don't know how much it costs to manufacture a hard drive so you can only base your judgment on prices you've seen drives for at other places. Business can afford to discount really close to the RRP if they have the customer base, have purchased a larger number of stock etc.
$95 is standard price for a Western Digital 320gb HDD (8mb cache) - I can get them for $123 AUD which is roughly $96.

3/4 drives in my current machine are Western Digital drives (and they're also 320gb drives which I paid $128 AUD for - because they're SATA) and I've never had a problem with any of them.
You get unlucky sometimes, but it doesn't mean you go around and blurt out that it is an unreliable brand or product.
