Avoid Western Digital external drives' built-in spin down
No, don't avoid them!
WD currently makes the best disk drives available. I will be happy to trade my 1TB Seagate 7200.11 for a WD Caviar Black 1TB -- and I'll pay the postage.
Don't avoid here either
I've tried all the removable drives. The only ones still running flawlessly after a year are WD. They are now the only drives I buy.

WD currently makes the best bare hard drives, too. I'd probably put Samsung next. Seagate I'd put dead-last. They seem to have decided that price is the most important consideration, so I'd rather pay an extra $30 and get the reliability and speed of a WD drive.

I won't speak for others or make generalizations, but my original 500GB MyBook Pro failed after about a year (losing all data), and then the replacement they shipped under warranty failed about six months later (again, losing everything). |
