so it seems that everyone is recommending WD. I guess i should go with that, as opposed to any of the others.
Right now I'm trying to decide between the following options:
Choice 1 (internal + enclosure):
Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive - OEM
Price: $99.99 CAD
PLUS I need to buy an enclosure (not sure what to look for in these, if someone can find the cheapest and most viable enclosure that would be awesome. preferably at newegg)
Final Price: $99.99 CAD + Enclosure Price
Choice 2 (external):
(W/O FIREWIRE) (got very good reviews)
Western Digital Element 1TB 3.5" Black External Hard Drive - Retail
Price: $119 CAD
OR
(W/O FIREWIRE)
Western Digital My Book Essential WDH1U10000N 1TB External Hard Drive - Retail
Price: $149.99 CAD
OR
(W/ FIREWIRE) (didn't get the greatest reviews for some reason. apparently proned to overheating)
Western Digital My Book Home WDH1CS10000N 1TB USB 2.0 / IEEE 1394a / eSATA External Hard Drive - Retail
Price: $169.99 CAD
OR
(W/ FIREWIRE) (got pretty good reviews)
Fantom Drives G-Force GF1000T 1TB Triple Interface External Hard Drive - Retail

Final Price: <$139.99
