Recommendations for reliable, external, USB-only hard drive?

Digital music takes up so much space, and my collection is rather large. I've filled the 160GB external drive I've been using for years, and need an upgrade. The current drive is failing and ran out of space a year ago.


Since 2004, I have been using the same 80GB and 160GB external FireLite drives offered by SmartDisk. 6 years for a constant-use drive is amazing, and I know that I got what I paid for and more out of them. They were excellent because they came with solid aluminum cases and built-in cooling - sturdy and reliable. I pretty much only use them for photo storage and music storage, so mostly just reading data rather than writing it. The 80GB died around 5 months ago with no warning after being left all-night plugged into my Wii. This happened a number of times, so I'm not really surprised it died, just sad. The second is still working - but just barely. It's giving me read/write errors more and more frequently. Fortunately, I format with ext4 so I'm not as boned as I would be if I was on Windows.

My needs are this:
  • 400+GB of space. Again, I've only increased my space by 20-40GB at a time, and this time I need a nice boost. I think a TB is a bit much, but who knows?
  • External. Internal is out of the question.
  • USB-only power. I need to be able to transfer files from multiple computers, so carrying around an AC adapter is not really viable.
  • Reliable. I don't want it to fail in 4-5 months with my entire music collection from the past 6 years on it.
Do any of you have a recommendation? Perhaps a drive that has worked especially well for you.

The 2 that I was considering were the Western Digital Elements 500GB and the SeaGate FreeAgent GO 500GB. But after a bit more searching, it seems that with both, the number of "My drive died in 4 months" stories is around 1/5 of the total reviews. Those are NOT good numbers. I found this to be true on the 4-5 different electronics shopping sites I scoured. Not good. I need this to last.

Any help from the tech-savvy?

Introducing Metagnosis - users and contributers wanted

I've been pretty silent in life and internet recently. Mostly because of a massive project I am working on right now for a client. It is a network of sites under the heading DreamRevolutions which will seek to be an all-encompassing resource hub for artists and visionary souls. The first node is ready for the public - or, at least for beta testing.

It is the community and news site titled Metagnosis. To sum it up in one sentence: Metagnosis is a community dedicated to the idea of revolution through coevolution. It will be the central repository of a community, with plans for a user-run gallery, downloadable resources, and the support of other like-minded individuals. The main topics that the site will revolve around are politics, art, ecology, do-it-yourself projects, entheogens, memetic hazards, magic, goddess wisdom, and the drive for enlightenment - gnosis.

More information will be forthcoming as the site reaches public launch. But currently, we are seeking beta-testers and contributers. Interested users can sign up here: http://metagnosis.net/beta/

Contributers:  We are looking for people with blogging experience who are interested in writing in the listed fields. It will be a simple gig, and a way to get your work out there the way you want, to the audience you want. There will be compensation in the form of products to review, and other perks. If you're interested, please contact us through this page: http://metagnosis.net/about/contact-us/

I don't care if it's real. But living in Indiana for a while removes most of the doubt from my mind.
