| Re: advice needed which external hard drive
Mine's a Western Digital 500Gb too. I've only had it around six months but it's performed perfectly in that time. I only tend to switch it on when I want to copy stuff to or from it. You probably already know this but make sure you always stop the device properly before disconnecting or powering off otherwise you run the risk of data corruption.
