After asking around about hard disk reliability, I was pointed to Seagate. The drive comes in a very nice package/enclosure. It is easy to install and format, even on a Mac. I never experienced any problems switching the drive from Mac to PC...and then after about three months, the drive just died. No warning, it just wouldn't power up one day. I went online and there is an automated RMA/return form to fill out and within few days a refurbished drive shows up, then you send the dead one back. While this is very easy and convenient...I LOST ALL MY DATA and had to spend hours recreating. My next drive will be a LaCie which gets better reliability scores.

This external harddrive is really light. easy to carry and afterall it has a built-in backup system which saves me a lot of time.

It's working great for me (I only use it for a month or so), and the backup software that came with it is also great. the only problem I have is that you have to connect it directly to your computer. You cannot connect it to the router and have the computers talk to it through the network, which is what i would have done if i could.
