Don't ever buy anything but Seagate. Best warranty in the business.

i have a seagate and a 500gb WD my book. i love the my book.

I've always had good luck with the My Books, but I seem to be in the minority.

Has anyone actually bought a Lacie? They seem to be the elitist hdd of choice.

Highly considering the purchase of a Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB

Haven't found many negative reviews, and the price seems very reasonable at Amazon.com

The Terabyte would be nice, but when you're talking about that much storage, I could always get another external down the line if need-be.

I really like the slick design of the WD My Book, but the nice looks won't mean much if it crashes and I lose a bunch of files.

Sasha uses the LaCie lol
i personally have a 160GB my book i got a while back, i use it for my torq data base and a bunch of other crap that one would use an external drive for

LaCie = poopy. I've had 3 drives have their firewire bridge FAIL. Drives were ok, but the SATA to FireWire bridge burnt out. Huge hassle, and G A Y.

Seagate, on the otherhand, I have the 500 GB mybook over with me and its solid! Love it! Even the insane iraqi dust can't beat it, its a good piece of kit!

my seagates internals always crashed. so far the external isn't crashing on me. and i have never had a problem with WD (internal and external). if anything they've been the only drives i've owned that haven't had problems.

I had Western Digital My Book Studio 750GB it lasted me awhile until one my kids knocked off the desk and broke it. But I was lucky had a hard drive recovery center moved data over to a drive just like it I just brought. Because my curious 3 year son broke 1 of connectors pins of it when fell on the ground. Then sent drive back to Western Digital for warranty work and got new one so I now 2 of same drive here. Best part was I had 5 year warranty on that drive if you got as a retail kit. Because of my kids I went and got some aluminum and made a stand for it and all.

I have the Western Digital 1TB Mybook.

Love it here, no complaints. It's quick, however if you don't use the drive it goes down into like a power saving mode and when you go to access it it takes about 2-5 seconds to turn back on.

I believe that can be fixed by turing off the power saving mgmt on usb hub controller that its connected to but it's not been that big of a problem to care about it really.

Looks sleek as hell too, weird how there is no FireWire thou

What use do you have for a 500GB hard drive in the middle of a war zone?!

Modern warfare is a hell of a lot different to that in the 1940's.

If you're on the winning side I suppose...
