When I was shopping for drives last winter, Warp 9 claimed theirs was a
LaPine drive, and asserted that it was the only drive with automatic head
lift and lock upon power-down on the market.  They also made some very strong
claims regarding transient acceleration (ie bump) tollerence of the drive.
 
I ended up buying a Dataframe (in April '86), and I have had absolutely no 
problems with it.  The only problem I have heard of is a noisy static brush, 
which I have heard has been eliminated on newer drives.

Since I firmly believe in not fixing anything that isn't broken, I have resisted
the temptation to open my drive; I thus have no idea whose hardware is inside.
