Save having a new thread, thought i would post back here...
Purcahsed a Seagate HDD, failed 100% after 3 months, not to be put off, yesterday i swapped it for another Seagate 1.5tb drive, and today its clicking loads, which seems to spell the end.
So, what should one do? I need a drive, 1.5tb is the minimum i need, and i have £100 (poor buddget i know).
All i can find, other than the Seagate is WD and Iomega, which dont get rave reviews, unless some one can put me right.
Thinking of buying a Samsung drive and enclosure too. but any tips would be good.
I have found 4 others (external hdd's) within £100:
- 1.5TB Samsung Story Station
- 1.5TB Iomega Prestige
- 1.5TB Verbatim eSATA
- 1.5TB WD Elements
or WD, Samsung and Seagate do 1.5tb drives (internal) for around £80 + around £15-£20 for an enclosure.
Googled the lot, good and bad about all of them, so really confused on what to get to store photos i am not keen on loosing.
The Seagate drive i have is unanomous that its junk, most have sent the thing back at least once, mines a day old and it wont be getting repaired, i think its refund time.
Feeling quite bad about external 3.5" drives as they have ALL failed on me within months at best, but all the 2.5" drives are rock sold so far.
