[doddsredoubt]

I want to purchase a Seagate 1TB External Hard Drive, but a friend told me there are no good,a friend of his who takes pictures for a hobby said that his one didn't work anymore and not to buy Seagate.

My question is what name of External Hard Drive do I purchase then????

Thank you for any help.

My Seagate packed up within 6 months. I now use 2 Freecom external drives and both are going strong.

I have a seagate external 2TB drive and it is perfectly good. In fact I had a seagate internal hdd that lasted for absolutely years without a problem despite I the fact they have a bad reputation

I must be lucky, I've never worried about the brand as long as it was well known. Have had Seagate and WD and others. Never had any obvious issues.

I have a Western Digital 160GB which I've been using for a few years now.

Just to add I tend not to buy without looking at the customer reviews. Might make a difference.

Thank you EdmundD & Old_Geezer, I have gone for a Western Digital 1TB and yes Old_Geezer thankyou I have looked at the customer reviews and they look very favourable.

Thank you both for your help much appreciated.
