How many hours has your hard drive been running?

ive just plugged my 20gb maxtor in, and its got about 29,000 power on hours, not bad really to say they are considered hoplessley unreliable
 
What brand drives do you think are best these days?

I remember Seagate and Western digital were the most reliable last time I was shopping for a comp.
 
I had a WD 80 gig from ~2000. Easily spent 5 years powered on. Finally died at the end of 2006. A calculator tells me that 5 years is 43800 hours. Probably a fair assessment. I honestly never turn my computers off.
