    External HD. Expert opinions wanted

    Here's what's going on.

    Lack of memory has been a constant problem for me for the past month or so, it's driving me nuts.

    Time to get the big guns out.

    I'm hunting for a 250GB external hard drive. The price difference between the different models isn't large enough for me to consider that an issue. It's whether or not the thing will crap on me that I worry about.

    So what are the good brands out there? Which one to stay away from? Your input is appreciated
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

      Stick with western digital, i've ran 100 computer networks in the past, the seagates, ibm's, toshibas etc. all burnt out well beforehand.

          My two WD 250's have been great.

                  I agree, seagate is out here. I'm using 5 maxtor 250's here and never had a problem.
