Removable USB Drives

[DasFox]

Is there any general consensus for who makes the best removable, large capacity USB/storage drives?

I need something around 400-500GB in size. When it comes to internal drives I know who's who, so I'd figure possibly the same with their removable storage drives, but then I've never used any of them.

Do any particular companies stand out as the best with removable stoarge drives and come with 3-5 yr. warranties?

THANKS

Have you considered buying yourself an external drive case and installing the desktop hard drive of your liking into it?

This option in most instances is cheaper than buying a dedicated external hard drive.

Do you know how good the Vantec NexStar 3 is?

Personally given the name Vantec I'd go with them for now.
