Looks like heat is a big factor in failure for these external drives. The
3T WDs are not very well reviewed on newEgg and Amazon. hmmm... maybe a 2T
drive would be more reliable?

I have a pair of seagate 1.5 tb usb drives, I've been using for the past
year.
Other than they need a lot of ventalation, they've been flawless.

I'm
looking at expanding into 2T or even 3T range for an external drive. I'm
also considering one with USB 2.0/3.0 capability for when I eventually do
the next PC upgrade. I like WD drives but thought I would check in with
you
guys to see if you have any feedback or recs, or links to review pages,
for
these things.
thanks!
