WD all the way.
Got a 320GB, 1TB and 1.5TB.

I always go WD, too. 

I have four 1TB mybooks, one 500 GB mybook, and two passports.  They treat me well.

[WhatstheUse?]

WD here as well -- they haven't failed me yet! (knock on internet wood)

I haven't had issues w/ any of the major brands, but that doesn't help anyone make decisions

My last bunch have been seagate without any issues.  I have all internals though.  There was this 500G external seagate that was always on sale about a year ago and a bunch of people got them.  I think they're good.

I have two WD's as well. 500 and a 320. Absolutely love 'em. I like them waaay more than my Seagate.

[jephrey]

tipetoo, I've never had a WD, but a lot of people swear by them.  I suppose I don't want to fix what ain't broken and the Seagate has always worked well.  Not that it's the defining factor, but in the same price range, the seagates were 7200RPM and the WDs were 5400.  I know from the specs that the performance is based on other factors, but I was always for a faster drive for some reason.

I screengrabbed the following item from NewEgg's Memorial day sale (for email listmembers). Doesn't look like it has eSata or Firewire, but 1.5TB for $100, delivered...

Western Digital Elements 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive WDBAAU0015HBK-NESN
$10 off with promo code EMCYSNW42, ends 6/3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136505
total = $105, free shipping.

I just saw this today.  the deal ends tomorrow.  $105 is a great price for 1.5 TB.
I already have two of these drives (both the 1.5TB variety), and they've been great drives for me.  I almost bought another one at this price, but I'm going to hold off until I really need it.

This tour has forced me to add to my HD storage space. Not to sound all spammy but here's a public service announcement for those in the same boat.

PSA: Tiger Direct has 1T Seagate Internal HD's for $39.99 after rebate. But you can only order 1.  I think the sale runs through June 18th.

I just bought 2Tb, 1 Seagate for 39.99 and 1 Hitachi for 69.99.

If others find better deals after 18th please post.
