Default Tell me about your EHD

I just returned my EHD- it was a Seagate, not portable (my first mistake) 500gb. I use carbonite for backup, so I just need the EHD so I can scrap on the laptop (I usually use my desktop, but if I want to go in the living room while the fam is watching a movie). Also sometimes- around 2-3x/ month- I go either to a friend's house to digiscrap or to a mom's night out where everyone does their crafty thing, and I bring the laptop, and do my thang.

My big bad NON PORTABLE ehd that I just returned was a huge PITA because it was, well, huge, and it had to be plugged in, and it was not reliable- some of my files were not getting copied. Not cool.

I used to use my 30gb ipod, but have long since outgrown it, as my folder with my scrapping stuff and all my photos is over 60gb now.

Please give me the 411 on your ehd. What you use it for, what one you have, is it portable, do you like it? I have NO IDEA what one to get now.

I have a Western Digital My Book. It isn't classified as portable but it isn't huge and it is easy for me to move around although I don't take it out of the house. I've never had any problems with it- except for when I dropped it while it was running- that was bad hehe

I almost bought one of the Maxtor Minis back at Christmas. They've actually come down a lot in price so I'm thinking I'm glad I waited. But I have several full size Maxtor EHD and I've had good luck with them so I'd definitely recommend the brand.

I have a western digital my book that isn't portable, and I haven't had any problems with it.

Jeff has a WD Mybook that is portable, and I've been messing around with it a bit, and it's awesome. Love it.

I have several Western Digital portable EHDs and really like them. This is the latest one I got:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012GQZZU

The only reason I have more than one is that I keep running out of space in the drives so I keep having to get bigger one But all of them still work fine.
