3tb External USB 3

[DTBA]

Guys I really need a new external and on takealot there are two hard drives

WesternDigital

or

Seagate


ATM I have a 5 year old 1tb seagate and it has never let me down as a external so, I will rather buy seagate.Also the price between a usb2 3tb vs usb 3 3tb is so small rather fork that 100 rand more out for the usb 3


EDIT: seems seagate only had one year warranty on it

Both of those are good in my opinion.

Most definitely go for the USB 3, makes a MASSIVE difference (if you've got USB 3 ports).

USB3. In an external FREECOM 2.5 inch I get 30MB/sec on USB 2 and 55MB/sec on USB 3. It's of course a slower drive because it is 5400RPM.

I am really thinking of going with the western, the backup software is nice and u get better warranty

Seagate has changed in the past 5 years, but nevertheless never had hassle from a seagate - only from WDs

Never had, but you will... Warranty cuts should be a warning sign.
