I just bought an external hard drive last this passing week and it was Seagate FreeAgent 1TB GoFlex. Transfer speed of my computer to the player or vice versa is very fast because it uses USB 3.0 technology, and I was really happy with the money I spent. They recently launched their latest external hard drive Seagate GoFlex driveth 4TB desktop, featuring USB 3.0 connection to a form factor 3.5-inch, which is also backward compatible with USB 2.0. Like other family members GoFlex, allows users to change GoFlex Desk adapters to work with a variety of interfaces (USB, FireWire, eSATA. It comes preloaded with backup software that allows an automatic, continuous backup data with encryption for your files. GoFlex Company Desk for Mac Hard Drive offers similar features, but comes pre-formatted in HFS + format.
The only drawbacks of this external hard drive in my opinion is that it must be connected to the power to work in conjunction with the FreeAgent GoFlex can use as an ordinary USB drive to copy port / Insert stick and you're done. This is the main reason I bought FreeAgent (he bought for 5,000 pesos) GoFlex no reception, because I really want it to be portable and can easily use w / o using the power cord more. GoFlex Desk is priced at $ 250 on the Seagate website and comes with a two-year warranty.
