Lynn,

I strongly recommend Western Digital primarily because of their customer
service and return policies.  Having dealt extensively with both Seagate and
Western Digital (as well as others), I have always had the best experience
with WD returns/service.  They offer free Advanced Replacement (cross ship)
and are extremely prompt in delivery and service.  Very smooth process.

The 2tb comes in 3 flavors... Essentials (1year warranty)  -- My Book (2
year) and My Book Elite (3year)  -- The Elite appears to only be about $5-10
more at most sites, sometimes less with sales and free shipping deals:

fantastic price.
