hi, guys/girls, i bought a western digital elements 1tb external from amazon last week (£75) as i thought it looked good, I have spent the past week putting about 700GB on it, also the amount of file organising and meta data tagging i have done over the past week......
last night the PSU died as I connected it to my western digital media player (which was off) it made a hell of a noise as well
I have read up online and these PSU's are prone to this.
Lucky for me the drive still works (phew) and my freecom PSU works with the drive.
My main worry is if PSU lasts a week how long before the drive bites the dust
, I have asked amazon for a replacement PSU (might happen lol) obviously i'm not sending the HDD back has the data is not backed up.
What would you recommend as a proven relaible 1 tb drive to use as my primary (used with media player/PC often) using the WD elements as a backup?
My freecom 500GB has lasted well over a year with no probs but i've seen bad reviews for the 1tb for some reason.
cheers
