I'm considering buying a portable hard drive. I don't particularly care for the 100000000GB versions advertised by many manufacturers, although I would like somewhere around 20-80GB of space. This week in the ads, I found two deals, one from Circuit City, and the other from BestBuy, advertising Maxtor and Western Digital portable drives, respectively. They both offer 60GB of space, although the Maxtor costs only $40 with a $50 rebate and $10 instant-off, while the WD costs $70 with $30 instant-off.
My question is this: Is Maxtor more reliable than Western Digital?
I am also unsure about buying Maxtor simply because it got bought out by Seagate. Would customer support simply go away? Or will it still be around in the years to come? Thanks!
