Cheep 1TB Portable HD?

Which is the best and cheapest 1TD portable hard disk I can buy? And where can i buy it from?

 

best buy has one for $89 i forgot the brand name

 

dublewdubledubleu dot Froogle dot com;
query: 1tb external drive;
sort by total price, skim the first two pages of results;
end;

 

if concerned about drive failure peruse google for brandnamehere failire rate. what is best depends on exactly your present location, needs, instant time of purchase, available ports. i bought a lacie xtreme or some sort. u can also purchase an enclosure and 3.5 " internal frive seperately and assemble in - 3 minutes. by the time u reas this post hardrive prices will have dropped nearly a dime.

 

try Seagate. they got some very good ones @ 1TB.

 

seagates 3.5 in 1tb line was most unseagately irronically bcuz of higher than competitors failure rate. i would recommend samsung only as thet were the firSt to market with reliablemarket on this particular battlefield

 

seriously? need proof...

 

use a search engine. I'm not writing a phd thesis here ;o

plz keep in mind this was happening alot when the 1TB drive from them was new.. I'm sure its been corrected by now... I just don't like to take unnecessary risks.

here i did another google search just for u.. at least one minute in duration! much better link

awww shucks... thanks

but it's just a firmware thing which has been taken care of apparently.

Cross my fingers, I've never had problems with my 2 TB Baracudda, they don't seem to be affected by this
