External Hard Drive Recommendation

neoflex · 03-25-2010, 11:18 AM

I am using a WD My Book and about to pick up a second one this weekend to have a backup since my Lacie has taken a crap. The Lacie has lasted me 5 years so I can't complain too much and it looks like it may just be a bad power cord ($20) as it seems pretty common on this model. The WDs are pretty affordable ($100-$110 for 1TB) and most reviews have been pretty solid. If you pay a little more you can get a Firewire drive. My only suggestion is stay away from SeaGate as they are known for being unpredictable and failing often.
