[Closed] Recommend me an External Hard Drive

Have had one of these [url= http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/19073/Freecom-Network-Drive-500GB-LAN---USB-2-0 ]Freecom NAS[/url] ones for over a year now with no probs. Bit expensive through, don't appear to have come down in price.

I've got a 'My Book' which is fine

i buy old 2nd hand drives and have a hd enclosure that takes different connectors.

Western Digital or Seagate are meant to have the best rep for reliability. Ebuyer is usually a good place to look.

I've had a lacie drive for ~3 years and its pretty darn good.

my seagate failed, had to break open to remove SATA drive to save data.

Maplin have 1TB Seagate drives for £69.

I picked up a Western Digital 1TB one from Currys or somewhere for about £50. Only annoyance is needing a separate power source, but seems very good so far.

I recently purchased a Western Digital 1TB MyBook from Amazon.

I only read all of the "avoid this hard drive at all costs" reviews after mine had failed. Fortunately Amazon have a good returns policy.

Replaced it with a Seagate 1TB drive which thus far has been fine.

Ordered the Seagate from Flaperon's link

Thanks.
