I have spent the past hour reading external hard drive reviews on Amazon and a few other places, and I've got it all coming out of my EARS and now I'm even more paranoid about which one to buy, and ACK.

So, I come to you, friends' list, for help:

Any recommendations?

I really need to buy one SOON, or I will kill my computer. This would be bad. Buying an external hard drive would be preferable to computer demise.

So far, I've looked at Seagate, Maxtor and SimpleTech SimpleDrive. And the reviews are no help, because they vary, and I don't know who to trust. It's all kind of annoying - mostly because I don't know that much about computer technology, and also have really bad luck with it. So, I'm ULTRA-paranoid.

So...help? Seriously, any help would be appreciated.

My *reliable* one that's been running for a year is a 100 gb Maxtor! Testify!

(Western Digital is the evil evil one that just died. Stay far far away.)

Awesome! Because I got a Maxtor, in the end. And it's being shipped today, and I'm stupidly excited and can't wait. *waits*

Thank you!
