I have always gone with Western Digital and have internal drives from 5 years ago that I have converted into external drives that are still working very well. I can't complain with the product itself, but at the same time I know Seagate is also great. I think it just depends on who has the better deal and who you trust.

I have always gotten a great product with WD other than an OEM drive from newegg.com that was DOA.

ive done the same, my maxtor drive failed 2 weeks in to its life, been running fine since but im still cautious. I converted my old WD's into externals as well. Just got a raptor 150 for my current system and a 500GB RE2 and so far so good + there's a 5 year mfr warranty on he 500GB

I've had 2 western digital's die on me, so i stay away from them. Seagate on the other hand are awesome and I've also had no problems with freecom external drives. So, if i were buying a 1TB external atm, i'd personally buy a freecom.

I curently have:

1TB + 750GB + 300GB + 300GB + 300GB (internal, all seagate)
500GB + 500GB (external, both freecom)

all working flawlessly

i have a 500gb acomdata external drive which worked great for a few monthes and then something went wrong. it wont connect to my pc, my pc wont reognize that its plug in, UGHHHHHH. so i gotta take it in to get looked at, i think its just a lose wire or something, everything on the drive should still be their. so u may wanna stay away from them.

Lacie was recently purchased by a Chinese company and is now going down in quality a lot. The G Drives are very nice. Ultimately all the top tear companies use seagate drives though so thats what you should be buying.
