Help me decide

[apple.fan]

Hi,

I need help deciding what external hard drive i'm going to buy. Only have two opcions:

1 - LaCie d2 Quadra
http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=11158

2 - Western Digital My Book Studiohttp://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=756


Any advice?

Get the WD or make your own drive. LaCie is just selling you an enclosure with the cheapest (aka crappiest) drive they could find at the time.

either one is good, the mybook is a little cheaper but doesnt come with esata, but you wont need that couse you dont have a pci express card slot in your 15"

WD's pretty solid and it's cheaper. What size are you getting?

already used 1.2T on my gdrive i'd get the 2T and not worry about it for a long time.

Go with the WD, I have always had good experiences with them

1T

Then it turns out the WD is more expensive now. Hmm. I would go with the cheaper one or find one on sale later on. Unless you need it now, those prices are pretty expensive for 1TB hard drives.

This 1TB is on sale. It's an awesome price for a 7200RPM drive. You can get this and even a super expensive enclosure (I recommend this because it has a fan is actively cooled) will be cheaper than those drives.
