What's the BEST external harddrive???

Also, for those of us who live in SoCal, G-Tech is local. You can get someone on the phone and talk to them. Great service.
 
no lacie does suck. but in general not just hd. they have an incredibly high failure rate, and no cosistency between manufacturing runs as all parts are lowest bidder.
 
I have had G-drive, I used to say Maxtor, but I had 2 crash on me after 3 years of use. Not a glitch and G-Drive only uses A+ drives.
 
i think the real question here comes down to general experience. sure individual mileage will vary - but list all the brands weve mentioned in this (and similar) thread.

which ones get the most bad reports? lacie is gonna win that one hands down. just a fact - BUT, lacie arguably has sold more units than all the other brands in the race combined, second only to maxtor - who coincidentally is second in the gross number of horror stories. its understandable that the vendor with 10x the number of sold units would have a higher number of problems... but still, i say basic logic is to go with the vendors youve heard less bad from:

owc, glyph, promax, gtech
