I'm looking for opinions on the reliability of brands of external
hard drives, the moderate-sized multi-MB stationary ones that are
designed for storage and backups.
Specifically, I have a 320 MB La Cie Firewire/USB2 drive (one of the
cute little ones designed by Porsche) and a Crossfire brand drive of
similar capacity that weighs twice as much but, according to the
literature in the package, is pretty much equivalent, functionally
speaking.
I have two computers that need backing up; I want to use the better,
more reliable drive on the more important computer.
Any opinions on the reliability of either or both drives?
Or is it just a total crapshoot when you buy external hard drives, on
what works and for how long?
