External hard drive help!

Pharmed · 12 Sep 2009 at 15:08

Recently I had one of these

Seagate expansions 1.5tb

It broke after about 7 days useage and clicked/froze up all the time (common problem with the drives inside them)

Thinking of getting one of these new WD drives as a replacement, even though I havn't found a site with any stock yet (Im guessing since they are very new)

Western digital mybook (new version) 1.5tb

Any recommendations?

I would wait for a WD external, looking at their other ranges if need be.

The other approach is to get an external enclosure (I like the antec one) and put a WD green or the samsung equivalent into it.

I ended up buying a samsung story station 1.5tb. It should be delivered within the next few days.
