Looking for a new external harddrive... Any Suggestions?
Please help!!
Can't figure out what size and brand to get, what are some good ones, 320GB and up. I want one that runs good, I am not looking for some cheap ass 1TB for 119.99 I would rather pay 169.99 for a 320GB that never fails.

is this for a laptop or desktop? If its for a laptop Axiom has some nicer new ones that run off 2 USB ports 1 for data 1 for power so you dont have to hook up to a wall outlet.
Western Digital and Lacie have some nice options right now too. Reps from both were in my office the other day showing us what they had. -Lou

There are drives that have better chances of not failing. If you look around newegg you can find a higher class of drives like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148295 I believe all the "ES" drives from seagate are suppose to be better and more reliable. I would *not* buy from newegg though, all they sell are OEM like the one I linked to. But if you really want something reliable I'd grab a SSD. They can still fail but the main reason HDD fail is from bad sectors and from my understanding SSD can't get bad sectors. There's a lot of crappy cheap SSD out there though, I'd grab a known good one such as a intel one like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820167005 . I know that's not 320g+ but you could raid them or buy bigger ones if you have the cash. SSD are also a hell of a lot faster than HDDs too.

I have one of those too. I think it might be a different brand. Very convenient.

Sata is very popular as it's becoming more common and it's faster than usb 2.0 You can get the same thing with Usb 2.0.. if you plan to take the drive around with you i'd just get a small portable drive they sell hundreds of different kinds.. Go for a name brand because the cheaper ones don't put your drive to sleep and kill it faster.. I'd go for 500gb+ |
