Hit WDC's site & search for "Delayed Write Failure" before committing to
a model. I know Seagate & Maxtor have had issues with their externals,
so caution choosing a model is my suggestion.

I'm looking for a quick storage solution, and considering external hard
drives. Buy.com sent me a spam that they have the "Fantom" brand
external HD, 250GB, USB 2.0, 7200 RPM for about $100. Sweet price, but
never heard of the brand which makes me suspicious.
I'm thinking the best bet would be the WD external drive 320GB USB 2.0,
7200RPM for about $250, Maximum PC loves it.
You guys have any suggestions?
