[Helpdesk] recommendations on external HD?

[Kasandra Clemente]

>   I found LaCie externals faulty.  When a four-year student in film school at
College of Santa Fe, my hardrive "died" on me, and all of the films with it!
They may be good for some people, but since that incident, it's been
difficult to trust them.
My "simple" SimpleTech has endured through many years!
