So sorry for a TJ, but I need halp.
I've heard a few horror stories recently, and have decided I need a External Hard Drive to back up my work. I'd like 300Gb+ and ideally one which wont corrupt itself (a mates did - is it common?) but I've not a clue what's a good brand or where to look. Can someone help?

seagate are pretty good.
avoid dabs like the plague.
never bought an ext HD (don't yet need one) but i've never had problems with mymemory.co.uk for otherstuff

Used to be cheap like ebuyer and komplett, but not any more.

i bought an iOmega 200gb drive about 2 years ago
It had to be sent back twice within a few weeks as all of a sudden my pc wouldn't see it. They idiots "fixed" it and the same thing happened. I've not had any problems since but now I don't trust it.

You buy an external drive for backups/security so don't go for cheap rip-offs because your drive borking is nothing compared to losing your data.
