[QUOTE="kingmob66, post: 773724, member: 60564"] I had a couple quick questions about HDs. I want to purchase a 1 TB HD for backing up my stuff. There are some really great deals on Seagate and Western Digital SATA drives-- 1) will just about any external SATA controller with USB 2.0 work on these drives? (in other words, are there any known incompatibility issues with external SATA HDs? 2)Assuming the answer to Q1 is (positive), anyone have suggestions about which brand i whould go with? the Seagate barracuda is consistently cheaper, but I've always had Western Digitals...is there really a difference in brand or is it a "Ford vs Chevy" kind of debate? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
