[Ham-Computers] Choosing a Terabyte USB HDD?

[Phil]

Aww, one TB isn't all that big.  I have three 3TB external drives for 
movies and TV (same files on all three, I keep two backups).  I also 
have two 2TB drives that I keep all my old time radio shows etc on (MP3 
files) in addition to the 2TB internal Drive "D" in the tower.  (Again, 
all three contain the same files with two backups).  Three of the 
external drives are Seagate and two are Western Digital.  All have 
proven to be reliable.   I've had one failure.  A 2TB WD drive failed 
after about 6 months of heavy use, I sent it to WD and they replaced it 
with a new 3TB external drive.  Can't complain about that. . .
