Does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable and fairly inexpensive external hard drive replacement (500GB to 1TB)? (I am also willing to buy an external hard drive enclosure plus a hard drive that is 500GB to 1TB if the price ends up being less than an external hard drive and it is reliable) The external backup hard drive I am replacing was a 500GB Western Digital MyBook and it probably lasted 1.5 years. I've been looking at Seagate externals because of their 5 year warranties. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
What do you guys think of this combination? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136151 + http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817198003 Also, are they compatible with each other?
I have a Seagate 750GB Freeagent Pro, I have had it for nearly 2 years, and I have never had a problem with it.
I've only heard the best about WD's external drives... never had one myself (using a samsung 120gb) but i know quite a few with WD's, and they never complaint about anything
