Hi, I have recently bought an Macbook Air 13" for university. Since I am not very knowledgeable about hard drives, I am in need of your advice to help me decide on which hard drive I should buy. I have read other threads related to mine but they don't have the recent hard drives I have my eyes on as an option.
After some extensive research, I have come across three hard drives but I'm having a difficult time deciding on which one to buy. The three hard drives are:
- Lacie Rugged Mini 1 TB: I love the external case as it is made out of rubber and will prevent the hard drive from moving around too much. Not to mention I have read A LOT of people favoring this brand even though the hard drives are bought from other companies.
- Western Digital My Passport 1 TB: It's the easiest hard drive I can buy as I can just leave my house and buy one from Bestbuy. I have also heard complaints about the cord unplugging very easily.
- Seagate GoFlex Turbo Performance Drive 750 GB: Though it lacks the extra storage, it does provide two years of free SafetyNet Data Recovery Services
I really don't care about whether which ones are faster, I just want one which will last a few years with good warranty and customer service. Also, does anyone know which drives from the list above have the most amount of failure complaints? Thanks in advance!
