Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Jeanne, From what I've seen the Western Digital Black Caviar is looking like one of the best bets, Not absolutely sure as I haven't tried it out yet, but all the reviews are fairly positive. I wouldn't go for the even newer 1.5 and 2 TB drives as there's a number of questions being asked regarding how stable and reliable they are. I know the basics of how they fit the data in, and even that part gives me a screaming headache trying to understand it fully.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thanks, Dennis! I had narrowed my choice down between the Caviar and one other but I've always had good luck with Western Digital's drives and was torn between the one I knew and one I didn't. Crazy how fast prices go down with these critters. I paid $74 for an external 250 GB drive for one of the grandson's Christmas presents just two years ago and now I can get a 1TB drive for that. Sigh. Remember when power supplies were engineered so chunky and dependable you could go years without them bagging it? Now I have to keep one in the computer closet at all times. Life as a geek isn't easy sometimes. All those juicy toys out there and no bucks to get them with. Boo hoo! Hmmm, to make this sort of vegetarian - Newegg.com has a nice rice cooker with stainless steel rice basket for $39. Smaller capacity, but great for a couple.
