most reliable brand in External TB hard drives??

[AeroBar]

Hi,

I need to buy a TB external hard drive. Can anybody tell what they think is the best brand based on their experience (and not on what they've heard from others)?

Cheers

There's a lot of topics on this.

I personally recommend:

http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Elements-External-WDE1UBK10000N/dp/B001JTQCU8

Have had it for for almost half a year, and it's working fine. Just got another one for free from a family friend, so ++++ for me.

thanks. I've been considering the WD My Book though.

Assemble your own. If a canned drive fails, you cannot disassemble it to determine if its the controller (usually) or the drive. You have to send it - and all your data - in for warranty work.
