external harddrive reccomendations

[aoaaron]

hey, i had a lacie rugged 1TB HD and it failed after a less than 12 months and was used about 10 times.

really dissapointed.

any better brands/reccomendations? Its only going to be used as a backup drive and be used every month or so to backup. any reccomendations please on something atleast semi-reliable?

For over 4 years, I've been very pleased with both of these models in various capacities, from Other World Computing (OWC):

OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro..........................OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro™

No platter-based hard drive is more reliable than any other. Buy the one with the best warranty for your budget and size requirements.
