Best External Hard disk?
Last response: in Storage
Hello everyone ![:hello:]( ":hello:")
I am going to purchase an external hard disk in a couple of days, which will be 500 GB and USB 3.0 if possible.I would like to know which are the best these days..I have zeroed down on Seagate Goflex(of course), WD and Iomega ego.I have heard both bad and good reports about both Seagate and WD..
My brother has 2 seagate's and they are working fine from 3 years but all over the WWW I see people slamming it.
And same thing applies to WD.
But I have read fairly positive reviews about Iomega ego but I suspect if many people actually buy them.
I am having a great deal of confusion![:cry:]( ":cry:")
Any hard disk which will last a fair 3 or 4 years..
I won't be having any other backup![:(]( ":(")
And I am not a rough user too..
Daily it wont run for more than 2 hours..
And if there are any other better brands than these 3 than I am open to it.
First I need a reliable drive then comes speed..
Bcoz I know all of them are speedy![:sol:]( ":sol:")
And I need it for PC![:bounce:]( ":bounce:")

Why not buy a seperate enclosure and hard drive and make your own? This way if you run into problems, you won't have to worry about voiding the warranty if you have to open the enclosure up.
