1TB External drives

Hey AT

I'm looking to buy a couple 1TB drives. One for backup of my main drive, and the other for general storage.

All I really care about is USB and eSata, and it's not slow as molasses

Does anyone use these drives? Any idea on what brand of HD is on the inside? Speedy or slow?

I'm also open to recommendations on others, but I'd like to keep it under $125 each if possible

Heya,

I have the Fantom drives. They're a WD drive inside. Solid, speedy. I use them via eSATA. Totally recommened. I have both the normal and green version. Both are fantastic. I would probably buy more green versions simply because I don't need a storage disk to be maximum performance, so eating a bit less energy is ok by me since it stays on quite a bit while I use it.

Very best,

Would you mind running it through HDtune? I have a WD 640gb external I'd like to compare it against
