Best 2.5" external drive

[Xyler]

Hi
I'm looking into buying a 2.5" external hard drive tomorrow, but don't want to order one on-line and wait for ages...
What brand would be the most reliable and cost efficient? -and where??
I like Seagate drives but don't even know where to start looking...

Seagate drives are your best bet, I have a 2,5" drive with a power over eSata cable which makes transfers a lot quicker. I think incredible and matrix should stock them, where are you based?

Much of a muchness... I would take the one with the longest warranty.

Majority of Seagate and Western Digital portables come with 2 year warranties now. You might still be able to find Samsung portables, which are cheap and come with 3 year warranty.

Go with what ever's cheapest, they're all equal.

How about this thing: http://www.makro.co.za/p/55551/transcend-500gb-portable-hard-drive/?&pthru=
I see its on special for R700.

What goes on inside? -is there a Seagate hiding in there?
