I need a new drive for my MacBook. I'm considering two external USB
drives that I might open, remove from the case and put into my Mac,
after testing for a few weeks.
I picked up a WD My Passport Essential 500GB drive on Friday, but
reviews don't look good. How does it compare to the Seagate FreeAgent
portable drive? I have a larger FreeAgent drive that was defective and
replaced; it's been working fine since then. The WD Passport has a
microUSB port like a digital camera, and the cable tends to get
disconnected.
My other option is to buy a bare drive and an enclosure for the old
drive. 5400 RPM is OK. Max [supported] drive size for my MacBook is
500GB. Which bare drives are more reliable?
