Argh, I've just had a 3rd Samsung M3 die on me so now I need another portable drive.

Obviously I'm not keen on these anymore so can someone please recommend something more reliable? These 3 drives I've had fail are rarely used or plugged in - just for ROMs or various stuff like ISOs/occasional backups.

Am I extremely unlucky or are these Samsungs utter rubbish? They've not been anywhere near speakers/magnets etc and all make this weird mechanical noise a bit like a repeated beeping on power up. Thankfully nothing critical on them.

Cheers!
 
I've always done well with WD external drives,have one here that's done me a good 4 years of service and still going strong.
