Well, OK, may I suggest Seagate HDs, I have one up 24/7 now for 6 years.

The first series of 10k rpm drives from them had serious thermal issues,
and if you were a "cram it in and go" idiot (I have no doubt you were),

FYI we installed them in external enclosures similar to the ones that came from
Avid.
