1 TB external hard drive recommendations?
 

Any recommendations on 1 TB or larger external hard drives?

I've got an Iomega 1tb drive that I like. I think you can get them pretty cheap, too.

Anything on TigerDirect.com that's cheap enough, or NewEgg.com. Don't shop anywhere else :thumbsup

Amazon is my backup if those two don't have a good enough price :2 cents:

i'm using this one and liking it

Will any of these work on a linux box? We dumped Windows years ago.

yup I just bought one of those in the 1tb to back up stuff.. I've had a 1tb Western digital for like 3 years and it is still running but I thought it best to have my important stuff backed up on several places rather than just trust a old drive that is so cluttered..

I like this more than I do the WD drive cause it seems faster and for sure is way more quiet

My recommendation: don't do it.
I accidentally knocked one of those 1TB Western Digital "Book" drives over.
The drive died soon afterwards. I got it replaced, but it's still not worth it.
The drive now is spending its new life inside my desktop computer.

WTF are you doing, Silent Bucks J? :mad:

Fucking bitch-ass cunt. Those are illegally used images in your banner.
Doing great with ripping other people's images off? :321GFY

Then what do you recommend?

I have my WD 2TB HD for 1 month and absolutely like it

Drama alert!

Time Capsule!
 

Apart from the edgy Apple hardware, the 1TB (+) time capsule will do a special magic when you use any intel mac. It also will work as a router, providing a 'n velocity wireless signal in the same device.

I have both (TC and western digital), and all I can say is, they can't compare.
:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I have 5 Western Digital My Book 1Tb, never had a problem.

Do NOT get a WD MyBook, or whatever the fuck they call that thing. Mine never connected half the time, and its the only drive I've ever had that stopped working....and I've abused a lot of hard drives.

Don't get one that has multiple drives inside. It just increases your chance of failure. Better to have smaller single drive units. Just my opinion.


.

just make sure you read customer reviews.

these externals look good

Get an ICYBOX or similar enclosure, and buy your own drives.

I would only ever use Seagate or WD.

I would never use a MyBook though.

Or if you have the cash, get a drobo.

I have one of those portable WD Passport drives, and it works great.

Western Digital

i got a western digital one and its great
