I had a Maxtor 160HD External Drive and it lasted about six months. Now if I try to transfer a lump of material over, say, 500 or 600MB it locks up and stops transfering. It was $200 wasted. I got a Sony DVD burner (up to 4.7GB) to back up my music, videos, pics, etc. That was the best $150 I ever spent. No complaints with that. I hope that I was the exception to the rule with external harddrives but I won't do that again.
