My laptop HDD didn't die per se but it had some major issues. It wouldn't boot into Windows Vista and kept giving me disk errors. Sent it into Asus and got it fixed, now it works fine. Good thing I was able to test it on my other computer before sending it in so they knew what to replace.
I have had good luck with Western Digital. I still have a 120 gig hdd I bought 5 years ago, until last month I was using it in my tower.
