From: Mike Rofone on 23 May 2010 22:28 I'm looking at getting an external HDD. There's Seagate and Western Digital. What's the best one to get?

Seagates get rather hotter and thats very undesirable in an external. And they can be Maxtors too, they never did last long with externals. WDs are currently seeing a problem with some clown deciding that the price of gold is too high and so has gone to silver which corrodes quite badly, particularly on the underside of the logic card.
