Hello,

Does anyone know what's the difference between "Fantom GF3BM500U Gforce3 Mini USB 3.0 Portable 2.5" Hard Drive - 500GB" (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1084072&CatId=4226) and Fantom MTT500 Titanium Mini External Hard Drive - 500GB, USB 2.0 (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...TD&recordsPerPage=5&body=#ReviewStart) other than the fact that one has USB 3 / 2 and one has USB 2. Is one more reliable than the other or vise versa?

Also, does anyone have any reviews on either one please? That would be really helpful! :)

In addition, if you had the choice to pick between 1 of those two, and Seagate's FreeAgent GoFlex (500gb) (http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=59f7f4066d47ea2fb5d573209d9b991cen02), and WD My Passport Essential SE (http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digit...ics&ie=UTF8&qid=1315671013&sr=1-1)... which one would you pick?

Thanks :D

I have scratched out Seagate from the list cause it BOD my laptop >_< and caused windows explorer to freeze and stop working....on two different occasions.

So out of the 1st 2 Fantom drives and the WD My Passport Essential SE, which would you get and why please? Thanks.
