I just bought a "Comstar" brand external hard drive, and I've heard people say that it comes with a Seagate HD. However in Device Manager it's named "WDC WD50 xxxxxx USB Device" which leads me to believe it's a Western Digital HD. How do I find out for sure? Thanks.

Open up the Comstar case and look at the label on the hard drive.
Sounds like you are right in that it might be a Western Digital.

The name showed up in Device Manager is more authoritative then people's comment.

try the belarc advisor. Or open your case and look at the hard drive. I would believe the device manager.
