I was considering buying an external hard drive and i have a few questions. How reliable are they? do they last long? do they crash often? What are the best companies? I was looking at Western Digital while i was at Circuit City, they seemed like they have some pretty good prices. If western digital is a good company i would probably go with them, but i can't decide on the 200gb for $100 or the 80gb for $60. If they last awhile then i would go with the 200gb one because its such a better deal but i'm not exactly sure, and i haven't looked at any other companies so if you own one or know alot about em please give me some input, thanks.
