Hi all,
I'm in the process of looking for a good portable USB 2.5" HDD around the 500GB range.
I was interested in the:-
Seagate ST905003FAM2E1-RK
FreeAgent Go 2.5" 500GB USB2.0 8MB Cache(BLK)
I was interested until I read about some of these problems people were having:-

As you can imagine, reading about these kind of stories has put me off getting one of these.
The other one I also am considering is the:-
Western Digital WDME5000TA
PASSPORT ESSENTIAL, USB2, 500GB, 5400RPM, 12ms (BLACK)
I have very little knowledge about what have been good/proven portable HDD's, so just wondering what kind experiences you guys have had with any of the above and perhaps which you would recommend?
Thanks in advance!
