which external harddrive?

[Trazor]

I would stay away from the seagate as the customer service is terrible and the drives are substandard. The drive in the freeagent is a standard seagate barracuda 7200rpm I would buy another Maxtor

Seagate and Maxtor are one and the same company, and have been for some while.....

Don't worry about it, this is one persons example of one bad drive. If you look up computer geek forums you will see customers of every manufacturer telling you to steer clear because they've lost data and are ****ed.

I had western digital fail on me once, and I lost a Hitachi that was in a laptop, so if you believe all this voodoo you can cross those brands off your shopping list too.

Must agree, when you consider the millions of drives made, you only hear grievances from the few that fail.
