Sounds like these drives are going to be OK then. My concern was that |
13 |
they would be made "cheaper" and not be as reliable but it seems folks |
14 |
are happy with them which is good. |

I like WD drives. The one drive I have had fail was a WD. I have a few |
17 |
of them so maybe it is just a bad apple or is it a lemon? Anyway. |

I'm getting quite a collection of videos and stuff. I'm thinking 2Tb or |
20 |
3Tb. The 3Tb is more expensive but it will take longer to fill it up. |

Decisions. Decisions. Maybe newegg will have a BIG sale soon. |

While on the thread. Has anyone had any sort of luck with the |
24 |
recertified drives? I see them sometimes and wonder what the deal is. |
25 |
Are they repaired drives or just returned drives? Anyone have any |
26 |
experience, good or bad, with those? |
