|
 |
Lately i've been looking for a future upgrade of my external HDD
Actual one's a Maxtor OneTouch7 500GB
I've seen lately new HDDs with 1TB of storage
Western Digital My Book Essentials 129€
Lacie (BUT HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH AN OL Lacie HDD!!)
iOmega ego ruby blue (pretty new release) 119€
I would like to hear ya opinions about the 3 of 'em,but i'm not lookin' for a Lacie (like i said...),of course 1TB (i'm tired of changin n changin constantly ><)
Thx in advance
PS: Can somebody also help me with my Logitech headset problem btw? http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52118

lacie are samsung drives, so that's what they should be valued as
i have no experience with them so i can't say either way
maxtors are poison as usual, so i would avoid them like the plague
iomega are seagate, so i would keep clear of them aswell to be safe
WD are reliable so from that list that's what i would go for

Same here, 2 WD Mybook's
If you can, go for the fire-wire models, that is if you have a fire-wire port on your case (Mobo/IO). As it is much faster then USB 2

all mybooks come FAT32 with some bullshit already installed on it. Some require a trick to formatting em. With mine I had to show all hidden files and take them off read-only or whatever, delete them, then windows let me reformat em, I did it through windows though, prob wouldn't have had this issue had I did it through startup |
