I'm looking for a portable external hard drive. My budget is about $100.
What do you guys think about this one..

I really don't need 1 TB of space, but for the price and all the positive reviews I think I'm going to get it. |

When you say you really don't need 1 TB of space you really do. Trust me! Space is getting cheaper every day and I can remember paying $100 not 4 months ago for only a 500gig (maxtor) external. To get 1 TB for that is good/great.....today. Depends on how much you need that much space NOW.
It's only going to get cheaper and cheaper.  |

WD is the worst maker of hard drives out there. Been that way since the 90s or as long as I can remember. They are known for extremely high failure rates.
Seagate is the opposite, lowest failure rate in the business. I have yet to replace one. |
