I'm using an antique Simpletech 320gb USB 2.0 for my external HDD. Looking to upgrade, just curious what peoples favorite brands / sizes are.

upgrade to an external or internal HDD?

 

I would be getting another external. I have a Seagate 500gb HDD internal with an OCZ Agility3 120gb SSD on the way. I was just wondering if there were some brands people preferred over others and what people were using

 

It's a slow morning and I'm curious.

I have a Netgear Readynas Duo V2 for Network Storage with 2 3TB Seagate Barracuda Drives. I have it set up for Raid 1 so I have 3TB useable space but it is fine. Great Piece of kit and it does not cost that much. 2 drives and the unit cost me £300 which is $462.81 as of making this post.
