They use drives from just about every company internally. For example 
they're currently selling:

40 GB ExelStor (IBM 120GCP)
60 & 80 GB IBM DeskStar 120GXP
120 GB IBM DeskStar 180GXP
120 & 200 GB Western Digital Caviar
200 GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus

 From my experience, the "internals" change from time to time.

Also, don't confuse the specs listed for the drives as they would be if 
installed internally with what you'll get in an external Firewire 
enclosure limited by the 400 Mbps bus and the interface in the unit.
