Kanguru Solutions is a good brand to shop external hard drives?

Flora

I'm looking for a good external hard drive with 1 or more TB in memory, but I don't know much about electronics, specially hardrive. So, is Kanguru Solutions good or I better be looking for some other brand?

Answer
Everyone will have their own opinions.... I have used USB drives from Seagate, Maxtor now owned by Seagate] and Western Digital in past few years and for 1TB or 2TB of staorage would recommend Western Digitals MyBook Essential range. They offer a good balance of performance versus price and include a good backup program [you don't need to use it if you don't want to] as well as 256bit AES hardware encryption for security. They do a USB 2/3 model that will work a full HI-Speed [USB 2] on a system with USB 2 only but will also work at full SuperSpeed [USB 3] if you have the ports. So you can get it full benefit on an older system that only has USB 2 support and if you upgrade to USB 3 anytime in future you will automatically get 5x speed [SuperSpeed]. In latest tests run by Computer Shopper magazine the MYBook range were some of the fastest drives they tested too!

whats a good brand for an external hard drive 500 gig

dont want one that takes to long to transfer flies
dont want one that says 500 but is like 450. which ever has the closest to 500 is good enough for me. thanks!

Answer
All hard drives are a bit less than they say, eg: a 500GB will be 480GB.

Here are some really good suggestions:

-WESTERN DIGITAL WDBABS6400ABK MY PASSPORT AV 640GB
Its 640GB but it will be 610GB so it is close to 500GB and a bit more :)
-WESTERN DIGITAL WDBACY5000ABK MY PASSPORT ESSENTIAL 500GB
500GB but will be 480GB. This HDD has USB3.0 connection for super fast data transfer.
-WESTERN DIGITAL WDBACX7500ABK MY PASSPORT ESSENTIAL SE 750GB
750GB but will be 730GB. Also with USB3.0

Note: 480Mbit/s (USB 2.0) and 5Gbit/sec (USB 3.0)

External hard drive suggestions!!?

I'd like to buy an external hard drive. I'm being lazy, so I'm asking all of you if you've found any good deals or know about the best kind to buy for the least amount of money. Any suggestions and/or advice about this is welcome.

Answer
External hard drives tend to be quite expensive. The cheap way of getting an external hard drive is making your own. What I did was bought an enclosure for about 12 bucks and internal hard drive 500 GB for 54 bucks brand new too. An enclosure is a case where you take an internal hard drive that would normally go inside your computer, and turn it into an external hard drive. It's cheaper this way. I got my products on Ebay. 500 GB external drive cost about 90 bucks while I made mines for less than 70 dollars and the same size. Once you put it together you can plug it in the USB port on your computer and its ready to use.

Here is an example of an enclosure from Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/Rocketfish-Hard-Drive-Enclosure-2-5-PATA-EIDE-RF-PHD25-/160458617932?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal#ht_500wt_671

They have enclosures that can support drives up to 2TB, which is very large.

Most reliable and affordable external hard drive for my Macbook?

best external hard drives brands image

Hello. I am running low on space on my computer and was in need for an external hard drive. Which brand and model is great in performance, size and price? I'm looking to spend no more than 100 dollars. Thanks!

Answer
I would advice you to purchase a Western Digital My Passport Studio, which is available in various hard drive capacity sizes. This hard drive will be pre-formatted for Mac OS X and supports not only USB, but also FireWire 400 and 800. You can format any hard drive yourself for Mac OS X, so that is not a requirement, it is only handy that it has been done for you. A hard drive which supports FireWire 800 however is great, as the transfer speed will be much higher than with USB or FireWire 400. Most external hard drives only support USB, which is slower than FireWire 800. The drive is also very portable and includes an indicator light showing you how full the hard drive is. Last but not least, the casing of the drive is non-shiny silver, just like the silver is on a MacBook Pro or Mac Mini for example. ;-)

What is the best size external hard drive and brand to buy for the Wii?

M Brightsi

I bought a black Wii that already had an SD card in it and has been modded. I am wondering what the best brand and size external hard drive to buy?

Answer
I use a 2TB Western Digital My Book USB 2.0,
I've set up other My Books, 500GB & 1TB, for friends.
If you run the latest d2x cios versions (v8 final or v9 beta) they can support larger than 2TB. (Think support started in v6 but other things fixed in later versions)

http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/USB_Devices_Compatibility_List
Has a list of drives/enclosures that have been tested. WD and Seagate seem most popular for the larger drives. I use a couple of San Disk Cruzers for a single/couple of games, comes in handy for portability so I don't have to carry another power supply.

What is the best brand name for external hard drives?

Slimp

I'm looking to get a 1TB external hard drive for Christmas. The only thing that's important is that it's going to be reliable and I won't have to worry about drive failure or data loss for a few years at least. What is the best brand and/or model to get? I was looking at a Verbatim one for $79 but I also seen an IOmega one for the same price. I never heard of IOmega before and I'm thinking it's a matter of the brand name of the drive itself that defines the quality.

Answer
You need to do some better research. Iomega have been making computer storage devices for 30 years. Their zip, jaz and ditto drives were famous.

Here are charts of external drive manufacturers performance to help you decide - http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/external-hard-drive-charts/benchmarks,26.html
