Looking for portable hard drive
« on: December 23, 2009, 01:01:24 AM »
I'm looking to buy a portable hard drive. 1tb. Under $100 total. Preferably a name brand because I've been told that a name brand is better when it comes to these things. Anyone have any recommendations?

Twice I've had a WD 2.5" fail on me.  I haven't any problems with any other company.
