Well, last night my hard drive (WD Mybook) was acting very strangely, the light wasn't coming on and it wouldn't connect to my mac. After a bit of faffing about, switching it on and off, and changing from firewire to usb I managed to get it working again, for now. Last time my drive did this it died a short time later, taking a shitload of data with it. WD did repair it free of charge as it was under warranty, but I don't want to go through that again!
I nabbed a spare drive from the studio and am currently backing up everything in case of a catastrophic failure, but to be honest I don't really trust it for recording and storing sessions anymore. So I'm hoping you guys can recommend something to replace it.
I'm looking for:
500GB-1TB,
7200rpm minimum,
Firewire connection.
I want something reliable, but I'm not made of money (looking at about £100)
cheers for any help you can give.
