[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1550498, member: 56379"] We sort of get this question a lot. And although some folks have their favorite brand (for various reasons)...I usually say: - first shop for the capacity and rotational speed you want (5400rpm, 7200rpm, etc.) - then shop for best price When you ask a question like this...you're bound to get these answers: - I like Western Digital - I like Seagate - I like Toshiba - I like Samsung - etc. After you get recommendations for almost every brand possible...this doesn't leave you with a clear cut decision on what brand to purchase.;) So I say...just shop for the size and speed you want...then look for the best price.:) If you always have your data/apps backed up...then you have no reliability concerns.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
