> I have a 500gig WD and its still running after 1 year. Jamey Price, Student/Intern, Photographerĭanville | KY | USA | Posted: 9:11 AM on 05.28.09 If you make a new post asking about Seagate drives tomorrow you'll get the same response that you get about the WD drives. The drive failing sucked, but I had everything backed up anyway so I didn't lose anything.ĪLL drives will eventually fail. Western Digital replaced the drive (it was still within the five (yep 5) year warranty. The only problem I had was one died (was killed) when I sent it to Philadelphia via US Mail in December. > I have (2) 500GB and (1) 1 TB drive from Western Digital.

Wow that was long, but if you can't tell - I love these drives and I don't think I'm even half as enthusiastic about anything else technology-related. Black is usually the cheapest, but not always - I have one lipstick red one.

Both sell the colors as separate items so go through a full list as prices vary a lot with that as the only difference. I've bought my My Passports (started when 125 or 150 was largest size through the 500s) via New Egg & Amazon.

That way you have the storage space and you have the ability to use it in a portable fashion unlike the large, heavy, power-requiring my books (which also have venting on top as well as the back so you shouldn't stack them to save desk space). If you don't care what color you get and shop a bit, you might spend an extra $10 to get 2 500gb drives (think they've got a greater capacity one now - they are all physically the same tiny, lightweight size). I put velcro on them and on the top of my laptop and use them exclusively when I'm out shooting. They are tiny, use power via the USB connection and I've got a half dozen of them and only recently had issues with one which I think is a combo of my impatience and the piece of crap case I wasted money on when getting a new desktop set up (USB issue - not "the drive" - had the my book issues with old case as well). If that isn't going to be your use, they might not be bad, but I'd recommend spending not much more (unless you've found an amazing deal on them) and getting a couple of My Passport drives instead. The lovely data cyclical whatever error which I think has more to do with the connection with your desktop than the drive inside the enclosure (used both firewire & usb). > I had lots of issues moving large amounts of data to/from the drives and lost images in the process. I love them, I consider them a great buy!īoston | MA | USA | Posted: 2:26 AM on 05.28.09 I have heard people complain about having problems with these, but I never have. I love them, I have never had any problems, they are 18, 12, and four months old. Isaac Ginsberg, Student/Intern, Photographer That sound you hear is me knocking on wood. > I've yet to have any issues with mine and I'm pushing about two years with them. Vancouver | BC | Canada | Posted: 10:40 PM on 05.27.09 I've had great success with the G-Tech drives. Steven Mullensky, Photographer, Photo Editor The only safe thing is a redundant setup, and there are even caveats with that. Hard drives are like machines and they will fail eventually. > This is like asking if a certain brand has never broken down. > Just had a 500g one crash on me.I replaced all of them with different models. > For a few years or more I have bought nothing but Seagate and have never had a failure.Ĭollege Station | TX | USA | Posted: 9:44 PM on 05.27.09 Palm Springs | CA | USA | Posted: 9:44 PM on 05.27.09 They work okay, but the speed and reliability just aren't up to the task. I stopped buying them after the second one (the third one was a portable drive I had bought before). > I have had three Western Digital drives and they all have failed around a year.
