Yeah I was thinking of getting either WD or Lacie. Haven't decided yet.... Thought I would check with people here who use them often and if they have had any trouble etc.

Reliability is all i'm worried about really, and yeah will try to avoid walmart/costco/etc. type brands.
I had problems with maxtor before actually, but that was ages ago in an old P4 machine.
