Looking for a new external HD....

[Wrench 9,426]

...and I recall there are some manufacurers to stay away from (like internal HDs, too)

 

I just can't remember if its Western Digital or Seagate or who ever!!!

 

Some reccomendations, please!! I'm looking for something in the 250-1tb range, price around 100-150 dollars

 

TIA!

I've got a pair of WD's...a "book" sized 250GB from several years back with external power and a "pocket" sized 640GB from last year that powers off USB. Both work fine.
