WD External Hard Drive
 
I was looking for a good external hard drive to store all of my games and movies on and was wondering if the Western Digital My Book 1TB drive was any good. I'll be buying from another store for a cheaper price though.

I think it's hard to go wrong with external hard drives. They're pretty much...just hard drives.

I know people have had problems with some before, but seems to be spread pretty evenly across different brands.

If the brand doesn't matter to you, I'd go for the most affordable for the size you want. I have a Seagate drive - which as it turns out has a cheap Maxtor disk inside it - and it's been great so far.

It looks like you're going to get a mains-powered stationary hard drive (as in, not a portable one) so you shouldn't have any problems as you shouldn't be moving it around a lot or accidentally dropping or knocking it. One of my friends at work broke his WD drive by dropping it, but that was from his own stupidity.

Well I bought one by these guys a couple years ago. It ended up never having a problem. I love it. I would recommend it to anybody. And everybody else i hear who uses them rarely has any problems. All Hard Drives eventually die but they are great though. Long lasting.

Western Digital is good. I prefer Hitachi, but both are good.

I'm running, WD drives as my main drive (WDsBlue)[500GB], emergency restore drive (mybook)[500GB], and Carbon Clone storage(WDcBlack)[1.5TB] drives and I've never had any problem with any of them ever. Western Digital has the best quality drives out there, In my personal opinion.

Dang, I need to get another hard drive for my computer. I'm currently running a 500gig internal and 500gig external. Neither of them are full thankfully, but I do like having a lot of leg room.
