I'm planning on buying this from Tiger Direct:
Fantom GreenDrive 1TB External Hard Drive - eSATA, USB 2.0 GD1000EU at TigerDirect.com
Seems like a pretty good deal since it has eSata and 1tb for only $140. I was just wondering how realiable Fantom company is. I've had a Seagate Freeagent fail on me and it is not covered under warranty for Data Recovery (which cost ~$300) but it does have a 5 year warranty but I have to pay shipping / handling (which is another $20+). I have many countless memories irreplacable by money such as photos, videos, projects on that external harddrive and I am not going to replace it. Right now I'm putting the harddrive aside assuming that time doesn't erase data. For the new hardrive I'm buying, I want it to be more reliable than the Seagate so I don't have to pay another extra couple of hundred $ for data recovery.
