Yep.

Get a samsung. Thats what I use for overflow from the PVR
and use them in HD docking stations and you have to listen
carefully to see if they are actually running they are so quiet,
even with the drive bare in a docking station.

Which ever one gives you the best value


Its a lottery, you may end up with a faulty WD or Seagate.....its just luck
of the draw

btw: I have the WD External 1 TB and I also have a 500 gig Seagate in a Nex
Star 3 enclosure that I purchased separately. This enclosure has the
advantage of having an e-sata connection on it so if your machine has an
esata connection then I would recommend purchasing an external Enclosure
that has esata and you can whack whatever drive you like into it
