I think you need to read the warranties again!
It is my experience/belief that the warranty is ONLY good if it is used as an
internal drive.
If YOU put it in an external case...all bets are off. check the warranty
closely.
I have external drives and they are fine. Seagate now comes with longer
warranties on the externals too.
I also recommend Powered Fire wire drives as opposed to USB drives unless they
are powered too.
You do not want to draw the power from your PC>
I am in a hurry. I hope this info is clear...and not offensive.
I just want to save you money.....

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Hard Drive Recommendations...
I'd like to hear about some real world user opinions on hard drives. =
I'm looking to purchase a hard drive to put into a hard drive enclosure. =
Seagate has the 5 year warranty, Western Digital has the 3 year =
warranty. Seagate now has perpendicular writing technology which seems =
to be getting good reviews. Anybody have one of the 7200 series =
Seagates with Perpendicular technology? I've read that the Seagates get =
hotter than the Western Digital. Since I'm putting it in an external =
enclosure, this could be a concern for me. Western Digital used to be =
pretty noisy, and I had one die, but that was on my first computer long =
ago and far away. I've been running a WD in my new computer for 2 years =
now and it's quiet and I've never had a problem with it. I have a =
Maxtor 60GB in an enclosure right now and it's quiet and hasn't given =
me any trouble. I've read that Samsung has a good drive that is pretty =
fast, and I believe it has a 3 year warranty. Does anyone have any =
experience with Samsung? =20
Thanks!
