I just picked up a TB USB 2 from newegg.com for $99 (after rebate). I love this time of year.

How is this not spam?

did you intentionally use an exclamation point like the article did an excessive amount of times?

Western Digital My Book—will never purchase another one of those 1TB drives. Maybe the smaller externals are better. Seagate FreeAgent ROCKS!Maxtor—always reliable!If you’re going for more storage, bigger is definitely better.
Thanks for posting, loyalKNG.

@EMFK “Maxtor—always reliable!” – I guess you never actually used these then? Maxtor’s error correction is one of the worst around – it forgets about the bad sectors that it maps out, which is a feature that now leaked in to some Seagate drives as well.. If that is your definition of that reliable, then go for it. Store your most critical data right on it…

Western Digital > Seagate > Maxtor > A homeless person with a pen and paper > Hitachi.

@TonyCubed: QFT.I guess these things go in cycles, but IBM/Hitachi had a terrible year or two with their DeathStar drives, and Maxtor had a bad reputation for a few years after that as being cheap and shoddy.Typically though most people base their opinion on drive quality on a sample of 1, their own experience. Perhaps they feel the need to reinforce it in their mind so their drive doesn’t fail
I’ve had a WD drive for 4 years with no issues, however that doesn’t mean they’re failsafe. WD, Seagate and more recently Samsung seem to have a good reputation for reliable drives, with the first two having several years’ good reputation. However, every batch has duds, that’ll always be the case. Use backups!

I have 5 Maxtor’s on 3 computers. Only 1 ever game me a problem and of course I had backup.

@mysty:Six Maxtor 1TB drives and none have failed yet. However, it is based on experience using it. Perhaps, if we were limited to only being able to purchase one, we would fall into the category that dfross was discussing. As for storing critical data—use Carbonite. Have used it for awhile and it works like a charm.

maxtor are ***** *****

I have the seagate drive and it works just fine, and the product design rocks

Aren’t we a platform specific bastard?

Just make sure those 1TB driives are really 1 TB drives and not 2 smaller drives linked to create one big drive. Raid 0 is interesting, but if one drive goes, you lose everything.

YES YES YES, the large WD MyBooks are like their rejects. I had some that have just simply ceased to be.
11.25.2008
My WD MyBook 500GB had issues also.
11.25.2008
are you kidding? I have a 1TB Mybook and it’s great. Hasn’t ever given me problems in the year that I’ve had it.
11.25.2008
I have had 2 500GB MyBooks die. Lost all data and too cheap to pay to have it recovered. I have tried everything. I will never buy another one.
