HI,
i want to buy an external hard drive to back up stuff on my pc. I've been looking for what's available and for each one i've considered there tends to be as much negative feedback as there is positive. It seems to be a common issue that after a few months a lot of them have problems and lose data. So, can anyone recommend a decent one, up to 500 Gb, which is reliable and easy to use? Otherwise what's the best way to maintain them to avoid problems?

500GB external, Brick Desktop, USB2.0, 8MB, 7200RPM
RAPIDSHARE FTW
Been using it for 2 years and I've had no problems with it (:on both linux and windows)
Used it for around 2 years now, never broke down on me... All data is still here.
