External hard drives

[scottish]

Ok need two new external hard drives a 1TB and a 2TB

The 1TB is to be used on router for network, but I'd imagine any hard drive would be compatible with it

Any suggestions?

I did a massive hunt down on a trustworthy hard drive after my western digital one broke losing me a large amount of work.

My conclusion was seagate, that extra price, that really isn't much, is worth it so much more than a one that will melt itself!

I have a 1tb Seagate hard drive and it's definitely my most reliable and sturdy one out of my replacement Western Digital one!

Can't really complain about WD

atm i've got both Seagate and WD 1TB external drives (WD one has been on for over 35,100 hours :P so about 4 years, lmao)

I'd have to say I preferred WD at the time as they didn't bundle a load of crap software with it (which seagate did with their drive), but they probably do that now lol.

But yeah, thanks :P
