Thinking of buying an external hard drive

[Solid Runner]

I need an external hard drive with 200GB max capacity which I can use for mostly backing up my files, and storing videos. I found this...

...and I'm wondering if Seagate is a good brand. If any of you guys know of a better product, I'd appreciate it if you inform me.

Seagate is a good brand... but you can find them cheaper.

Nukem, do you know if the Cavalry one has an automatic function where you can leave a schedule like the Western Digital has? And if it does, which brand would you recommend to be the most reliable?

I'm not going to go that far... I'm not sure to be honest. I use my external when I update or do something different. I don't have one that will sked for me... but the Cavalry is pretty good for it's brand. I do believe it uses a WD drive as well..

Western Digital, Seagate are the best ones out right now.. Maxtor is good, but Seagate bought them out not that long ago, so who knows what is going to happen. I've had a Samsung for years that hasn't let me down yet... just to name a few...
