I have 2 external Seagate disks (1TB and 2TB). Pareho namang ok ang performance. Well, for back-up purposes lang talaga sa akin.

Basing on experience...

Seagate is good as Paperweight. Very unreliable.

WD is very reliable, however, may new technology sila with the connectors which makes it difficult for you to change enclosures when needed. so hassle.

Hitachi, though konti palang nakakagamit sa friends ko, so far very reliable naman daw. Pwede na daw lumaban sa WD sabi nung friend ko.

Buffalo is nice, pero pricey. my brother has his buffalo Portable for 4 years na. still runs smoothly.

Samsung naman, 4 of my friends had their samsung HD crash on them. within a year. so... No.

Trancend, my brother bought 3 of these. 2 of them are not working in a span of 2 years, the third unit is still running after 4 years of abuse. siguro lemons lang nakuha niyang iba. pero still.

Bottomline, Hitachi or WD.

Ironic, yung factory ng Seagate sa WUXI,China may madaming pinoy expats na engineers nagwowork doon ...hahaha

gnarly · « **Reply #9 on:** March 05, 2014, 11:27:57 PM »

question, wd ang external hard drives ang ginagamit sa opisina. may ilang units na dito na almost bnew nagloloko na agad.kung magka-copy ka ng kahit mga 2gb lang about 10 hours at minsan 1 day pa bago matapos. anyone encountered this?

at magkano kaya ang after market na power adaptor sa mga ganitong hds?

tia!

My WD is still alive (I always kept it in its orig box,lalo sa mga biyahe). I like the 2.0/3.0 USB connector, very handy. 2 years na siya sa akin.
Basta tuwing copying of files, close lang 'yung other programs. Huwag hugutin ung external HDD or ishut down 'yung computer habang on the process pa lang siya. Tiyaga lang, para iwas sa corruption ng files.

Good luck!

WD sucks!
Yung WD element(yung di na kailangan ng power adaptor) ko parang sumuko na sakin, di pa naman siya katagalan sakin, pero out of warranty na. Anyways nadedetct pa siya as WD elements 1402 ng win7 pero di na naoopen sa explorer. Tried all possible solutions sa internet na may connection sa problem(except opening it) pero wala eh. My pc seems to hang on some actions (browsing, win explorer etc.) kaya di ko siya macheck sa disk management.

Baka may suggestions kayo?

Yung 3 kong WD my passport 3 years na ok pa naman. Bakit nabagsak mo ba?

Di nga nabagsak yun,huling ginamit ko yun sa tv nanood ng movie tapos tinabi ng maayos sa drawer.
Ano siya bro nag cause ng hang eh, kahit googlechrome naghang pag nakakabit siya. Nagkaron ng konting pagasa, nadetct siya kanina nabuksan andun pa yung mga files pero nung ibabackup ko na ayun hang na ulit.

-for 3 years I have 2 Buffalo HDD at my disposal and both of em are still working good(read/write speed is better compared to Seagate), the Buffalo may look your off bat brand with poor branding but performance and reliability is great.

-At home though my NAS is filled with WD drives(as they are cheap but longer lasting than seagates)

-The only seagate product I have is the 1TB wireless plus drive when I travel(The wireless function is useless now as I already ditched out my ipad when I travel,only used this for occasional streaming)

@CeL

Nagtry ka na ng ibang cable or plug sa ibang desktop? Pag nag hang pa din malapit na bumigay yan. Usually kasi power issue yan pag nag hang, hindi maka communicate yung pc sa external kaya nag hang. Pag gumana sa ibang pc mag chkdsk /f ka sa DOS then backup na. Badtrip lang talaga bro pag labas na sa warranty.

Stay away from WB and Seagate!
