Seagate drives are hit and miss - usually do OK, WD drives (in my experience are junk)

Toshiba drives have never let me down - This one works like a charm  - had it about 6 (or so months) with no problems at all

Solid, fast, super-quiet. WD drives have the best reputation for longevity, and I was happy to find a 4TB version at such a good price. Recommended.

Most dependable of the all the drives I've ever purchased.  I've purchased over 50TB of external drives from all the major manufacturers and the OWC drives (I have three now) are the only ones that have never failed me.  Keeping my fingers crossed, but so far they have been wonderful.

I bought this from Best Buy to replace a dead Hitachi 80GB hard drive on my Toshiba Satellite A105-S4011 Laptop, and I am EXTREMELY satisfied with it. I also like Hitachi because it was a 6 year old hard drive before it started making extremely loud noises then it stopped working. It was the hard drive I got when this computer was bought, horribly low capacity though.
This WD hard disk is absolutely amazing, works AWESOME so far, had this for about 5 months, and it is working like a charm. The only downside of this is the loud noise it makes when the computer boots up, I don't really care about it because it doesn't happen again until I turn the computer off then on again. Anyways that doesn't affect the hard disk performance or anything in any way. I don't think it is failing because it happened right when I boot the computer the first time, and if it was failing, it would have, but after 5 months, this is still working.

This is my forth WD external HD and first 1TB in capacity , I have 2/ 500GB and 1/160GB and they all work spectacularly, this one I have my DVDs backed up and it works just like a DVD or VCR if u will... I so far have 81 Movies on it with their true DVD capacity without compression and still have 265GB free space on it. It's worth every penny!!!!

Toshiba drives are priced cheap and never had an issue with one.

I don't like Toshiba's reliability for the 3.5" Drives, but on the 2.5" drives they have it down.  Better than Seagate by far. WD is probably similar in reliability, but Toshiba has a better warranty length, so I get these for backups and if it dies in 3YR toshiba will send you a brand new one. Not a refurb. Best policy in the business.

I have had this drive for a while now and it just continues to work with no problems.

Just got this drive, you will have to format it before use, but I experienced no issues at all.  No bad sectors, no trouble.

This thing is fast and quiet.  Very happy with it so far...I've taken the time to really get a good healthy install on it and it has paid off.  I'll follow up if anything changes, but as of right now I am 100% happy with this purchase!

Also, received this in a little under 2 days!  Great shipping, packaging was professional - shock mounted drive, original WD box inside of a larger box.

This is my third WD Hard drive.  They all meet or exceed my expectations.  I haven't had one second of trouble from any of them.

Seagate = Easy to Install = Easy to Use = Reliability!

Nice shape, color and size, and just one USB port is needed to.

I made two partions; one for my files and another one to my clients backup, when they brake their systems!  =P

And "Seagate FreeAgent Go 320" was the best choice I made!

Now, eights monts later, I'm looking for another of these.  But maybe I'd like to try with Toshiba's: http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Portable-External-Drive-HDDR320E04XW/dp/B002CM3N2Q/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2BKIZ13ZYWMMX&colid=36P2V1AZSMG4B

...I hope not be regret to me!  ;)

Thanxs' for read it!

I have had this external hard drive for a month now, and is the third WD portable external that I own. It is *the* drive I recommend to people. I use it for my business with storing drive images, software repository, and general data. My only issue with it ( and issue is probably too strong a word, as it doesn't stop me from buying or recommending it) is that if the port fails, which hasn't happened to me or anyone I know, when you open the case it doesnt have a sata connector; a choice I'm sure WD made for size reasons. Again never needed it but its a "gee wouldn't it be nice". Nevertheless this is still a 5 star product.

I go through a fair amount of hard drives for various projects. WD drives are very reliable in my experience. They don't seem to have the quick access times of some more expensive Seagates, but they are affordable and reliable. Worth it for me.

I use it everyday and haven't had a single problem. Wd have been nice if the cord were much longer.

I store so much on this HDD, and it runs flawlessly, I recommend WD many other consumers any day. It has good transfer speeds, and hasn't died out considering the amount of information transfers I've done on it since November 15, 2014 when I originally purchased it. I strongly recommend this or the 3TB version for those who plan to use it for General Media and/or storing game recordings.

I've purchased several WD hard drives and with the exception of an 80GB drive 15 years ago, I've never had one fail.

Over the past 3 years of so, I have purchased 6 500GB drives.  The 3 Lacie drives have not given me any problems what so ever.  The 1 WD Bookshelf has given me several headaches, stock 2 WD drives with 3 party interfaces have also given me challenges as well. I believe that the Lacie will continue to be my favorite no heat problems or drop out of communications. The Lacie come stock with FAT32 formating which I prefer.
