Fry's is bad news.
They re-package their returns and/or defectives to increase sales numbers.
I'd strongly advise to stay away from Fry's at all costs - that place is bad news.

Like Fido, I too only trust Western Digital. Nothing else matters when it comes to hard disk drives. They are VERY RELIABLE.

So far everything's still working.
I use SyncBack to keep my data updated. Try it.

2 of the 1TB drives contain movies.
The other 2 1Tb drives have TV and other video stuff.
(I run 3 500gb Maxtor drives off to the side for music, pictures and work stuff)

That's cool, I'm really looking forward to having such a huge cable network over in the states and able to hook up a dvr to transfer the recorded stuffs over etc.
But alas, Singapore does not have that luxury.

So I moved all my music and itunes to my External and then I delete it all off my Internal... Then I open up iTunes and I have to rebuild the whole library and all the music ends back up on my Internal.

Why did you wait till it died then get a new one? Had you? Now you lost all your data on the external?i think my external drive has officially died on me.
Your iTunes need to set the library storage location to your external HDD, if that's applicable. I don't like to use iTunes and that's one of the reasons why I still do not have an iPod product because they have to work in conjunction with iTunes. I pretty much prefer drag and drop folder mechanisms.So I moved all my music and itunes to my External and then I delete it all off my Internal... Then I open up iTunes and I have to rebuild the whole library and all the music ends back up on my Internal.
