Reliable External HD

[Neoburai]

Looking for advice/recommendations on good external hard drives. I've done some research myself, but can't find anything really compelling. Looking for Win7, 1TB, USB 2.0. Will be used almost exclusively for backing shit up. Looking largely for reliability, but would like to factor speed/sound in as well. Thanks.

Pretty similar situation for me. same brand, 1TB also. I love it, my only regret is that I only got 1TB because I just know I'm going to have to buy another lol.

I'm a professional photographer, and space/hds are always an issue. What I use is a DROBO - basically a RAID solution where I can mirror everything on 5 different hard drives.

Mine lasted a year and a half, then the RAID controller in it died, followed by one of the 500 GB drives in it.
