Default Re: Which Hard Drive?

I have a couple of seagate barracuda drives inside my machine that have given many years of reliable service, can't fault em, and when I took the drive out of a seagate USB caddy the other day I was astounded at the level of internal build quality, totally gratuitous it was - overbuilt, too big and heavy for its own good, but shows they mean business eh.

I also have a western digital elements USB drive that's proved very reliable so far, and the case is sturdy quality and compact, though they seem to have changed the cases now.

I bought this drop-in dock the other day: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002UAR8JY/
seems very good build and works nicely, but probably not what you're looking for - good for recovery and emergencies, I wouldn't use a naked disk for anything that I'd want to keep.

I also built a NAS recently out of an old pc I had lying around - whack ubuntu on there, set up samba, instant file and print sharing.. ace, best thing is it didn't cost me a bean Didn't bother with RAID, but I have online backup (carbonite.com, cheap peace of mind!)

G-Tec is what i'm getting, its USB 2, e-sata firewire 400 and 800. Thought this is for video editing. Its over a £100 for 1TB have spoken to others that edit these are the best. Simimlar makes are the same price so might as well jusy buy this one.
