External drives?
I am about to purchase a large external drive (im hoping 1.5 tb, but 1tb is alright) and i will partition it and use it as an external drive for pictures and movie files and as a backup. I have had probably around 50% of external drives i have purchased die on me, and these are drives by western digital, seagate, and lacie. what is a good, well made drive? Thanks guys!
Edit- This will also be used to store tv shows from a tv tuner box. Currently I am looking at this one. Thanks!

De La Soul, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Brand Nubian, Canibus, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Gang Starr, Digital Underground, Kanye West, Immortal Technique, etc. Better yet, try to make a 4 minute spoken word poem read to a beat that doesn't suck or sound corny if you think hip hop has no talent.

Check this out. My friend has one and it works great. Also has a 5yr warranty.

I've had horrible luck with WD MyBook's. Two 500GB died on me 4 and 6 months respectively...
