Seagate or Wertern Digital 500GB External Drive?

I'm wondering from user perspectives and experience which is the most reliable of the 2 drives, other advice is always welcome....

And which Model/Model's are recommend!

I do recommend Seagate FreeAgent Go 320GB Drives, with a dock! But I'm trying to upgrade to some 500GB drives without having to pay the extra $ it will cost for the freeagent drives...

I already know Seagate has had nothing but problems with their 1+TB Expansion USB drives, but I haven't seen much user review about the 500GB Expansion USB drives yet?

 

I have a 330 Gig USB external HD which I use for backups with Acronis. I've had no problems with it so far.

 

Wat about Seaget FreeAgentGo, smart n slim? Comes in 1 TB too.

 

Both great HD brands in my experience, get whichever one your favorite online store has a good price on the day you go shopping.

 

i have 250GB WD and i do not like it for its sleep mode and other little things.

 

Both are good brands check their prices in stores near you.

 

To echo some other post. Both are good.

 

Both are good!
But all my HDD have been WD and they've never failed ONCE!!
. . . Still

 

Usually I'm very faithful with a brand that gives me good results. Maxtor and Quantum HDD (none of these exist today) failed me. Although I don't have experience with WD HDs, I love Seagate, never gave me a problem.
No words about MSI, a brand that only gave me headaches
Only ASUS for me now

 

i own the western digital mybook and 1 thing ill say is... its BULKY and kinda on the slow side, at least from personal experience.
