External Hard Drive Recommendation

[shilala]

I have a 500gb WD that works fine. I just use it for moving or sharing files though. Don't back up to it. I'm a Western Digital fanboi, Dustin.
That said, any backup drive is going to see very limited duty, so they should last forever. I'd watch newegg and fry's and mwave and zipzoomfly for sales. You'll find something super cheap that should serve you well.
