[QUOTE="Steve B, post: 317319, member: 15754"] Trying to buy based on brand only can be a mistake. All of the HDD manufacturers have an occasional lemon. Look at a site like newegg.com and compare the ratings for the different drives you are interested in. Get one that is compatible with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 if you are using it on a Windows PC. Unfortunately most manufactures do not publish the drive RPM for their external hard drives. If possible get a 7200 RPM drive. [/QUOTE]
