Hi folks,
I'm looking to buy an external hard drive to serve as backup media for my laptop.
My current EHD is a Maxtor OneTouch III, that's about two years old. And it just died. This morning.
So I'm in the market.
What I've looked at so far is the following:
WD Passport: I'm leaning towards this one because what few reviews I've read say its pretty reliable. The price is also right.
Seagate eSATA: Again, also fairly decent reviews, and also priced right.
Basically, what I want is something that's pretty much just a hard drive. No frills or BS, because I have the backup programs which I need. Purists will say buy a hard drive and an enclosure and DIY, but I don't have that kind of time, as much as I'd love to do that.
Thanks,
