GUEST,erbert Tech: External hard drive needed (26) RE: Tech: External hard drive needed 16 Dec 10


I'm quite satisfied with the Iomega Prestige Desktop USB2 Harddrives.
1TB usually around £65.
I'm reluctant to risk anything higher capacity than 1TB,
but perhaps my anxieties are unfounded these days?

I like the Prestige USB2 range because they are simple to operate, no fancy power mode options,
and have on/off switches which I feel secure using.

They tend to use a random selection or Samsung or Hitachi discs, or unknown OEM drives.

Out of about 15 that I own [4 or 5 smaller 500 and 640 GBs from a few year ago]
only one has given me occasional cause for concern emitting lounder than usual clicking sounds
when starting up from idle.
