Need new 1.5+ TB external.

Had enough with both Seagate and WD producing the most horrid external drives. Seagate drives, all 4 of them, have died on me. WD seems to have some sort of rootkit on their drive I can't seem to get rid of either, so done with them too.

Any 1.5+, (hoping 2TB) that are decent? Looked on Newegg and the results so far seem less than favorable. Would getting an enclosure and building myself be a better idea? If so, which brand of HD and enclosure would be best suited?
