The main hard drives in my DAW are both Seagate, although I've upgraded my main operating system drive, the two Seagate's have been firing perfectly for the last 7 years!
I don't think its a case of one make being better than another, its down to luck and how much you respect your kit?!
I've also got 2 Lacie 1TB external drives, and they've been working fine for the last 4 & 2 years respectively...
I remember someone telling me to avoid Lacie like the plague, but, well... l8r----- Original Message ----- From: "Dominique" <40493raywonder@xxxxxxxxx>

I had a 2TB, rather have a 2TB external Harddrive and it's a western digital, but having problems with it. May need to order another. For some reason Win7 sees it but will not let me open the drive to grab data off, but Linux sees it and says the drive may need to be replaced.

I've personally had bad experiences with them; would probably choose 1 of the other major 3, wester digital, samsung or hitachi, but that's my personal opinion.
