Last month, I purchased a Seagate 1TB external HDD (USB 2.0, GoFlex) for 3.5k (3.5" HDD, external power required). if your mobo supports USB 3.0 and if you can get a WD HDD with 3.0 inside 4k, go for it.

I prefer WD, but recently I have read many RMA issues with WD.

Buy WD Passport instead of Seagate or u can also opt for Hitachi
WD is best in all deprtment (performance,quality & most important RMA)

also u must have a USB3.0 motherboard for the USB3.0 to show its full potential :grin:
