For those who recall my previous thread, I'm currently searching for some backup drives. Based on feedback here, discussions and readings external usb drives sound like the way to go (networked via some low power mini computer or routerish device).
Now the hard part, trying to find some reliable hard drives. Looking around, it's slim pickings to find 2 TB drives that get decent reviews. I'm specifically looking for slow, low-power, reliable,"green" drives. I'm fairly settled on getting an external case and putting my own drive in it, mostly because I can't find an external with drive that fits the needs. None of them list power consumption and seem to have all sorts of features I have no interest in paying for. Not to mention the warranty is way better if I buy the drive separate. What I've found so far is that WD drives at the 1TB range get great reviews and WD 2 TB drives only get 50% great reviews, 25%Terrible reviews. The best I could find is SAMSUNG EcoGreen F3 HD203WI 2TB 5400 RPM with 70% great reviews. Just looking to see if anyone else has had any experience with drives like these.
