Western Digital or Seagate
Dhruv:
Ohhh yes it is there caviar black 2TB... 3.18% return rate
And as far as elements goes... Look up western digital website... 3TB drive is the desktop version and 1TB is portable. I have the catalogue and I have seen it.
And about Samsung... Unfortunately my country doesn't have it's supply so I will most probably go with Western Digital. But I do have a Seagate 2TB and it is working quite well.

Oh yeah they do have WD Elements desktop, don't know how I missed it but they still have WD greens inside. Or maybe AV-GPs. Nothing noteworthy.
Blues only go up to 1TB and Blacks are practically never (if even) used in externals.
Dhruv:
If they had started using Blacks in externals then selling them at the current prices would be as simple as asking for going Bankrupt.
So which drive do you recommend from Western Digital considering that my country doesn't get those Samsung drives.
limefc:
If you buy the external, you'll get a WD green one way or another. So that, basically. You are looking for external aren't you?
Take the 2TB Elements if you don't absolutely need 3TB since 2TB drives are more reliable than 3TB drives. (have 1 less platter) And in case it breaks, you lose less data.
Dhruv:
I usually keep the drives in a safe place. So what kind of breaking are you talking about?
I'll probably go for Elements myself... Tatsujin said My Book Essential isn't a very good drive and all of his my book essentials have failed.
So probably 2TB or 3TB elements it will be.
