I've been reading multiple reviews for various brands such as iomega western digital and seagate and for each brand people are complaining about them breaking or dieing and as a result I am super confused. So what IS the most reliable brand? More specifically whats the most reliable portable external hard drive that has at least 500gb of space?

Answer
Honestly Western Digital is one of the most reliable..

The people who complain online are the very few that get defective drives, so don't mind anything you read.. Unless it's from a trusted source.

That's a 1TB Western digital for under $100..

Here's a 1TB Iomega that stands upright:

$75 for that one.. Nice.

$80 for Seagate:

Also, I'd be sure to get a 3.5" vs the 2.5 laptop hard drive versions, which are quite a bit slower..

Hope that helps :)

Instead of installing a game, can you just copy the files from another computer?

I have 2 computers, and I have EVE Online installed on one of them. I don't want to download the client on the other comp because it takes forever.

Can I just copy and move the game files with a portable hard drive? What files do I move?

Answer
Providing both systems have the same OS, i believe you can copy over the whole game directory without any problems.
