Not wrong he just over simplifies for his audience which makes sense because 
they tend to be targeted at the general user.
 
SSD is very easy to erase.

Of course they can be erased.:)
 
We have to erase the drives from our routers before we ship them back for the 
customer for RMA work etc.  You can erase them either with software or by 
removing a battery with in the drive  in some models.  It's just a database of 
data, it can be purged  if need be.

I use samsung drives for backups and rebuilds. to me, very reliable. have used 
seagates and WD's for a while but WD drives these days are (woh, nearly said 
something shocking) rather nasty… 
 
depending on storage needs, performance, etc. samsung 2.5" hdd's do perform 
rather well. but I've been spoilt by SSD drives and wouldn't go back.

We literally would have smoke poor out of drives or even have flames in some 
cases, especially early on.  I was running a net news (NNTP) server on Sun 
Sparc hardware and we were trying to find a home for 100+ gigs per day of 
mostly binaries and pics although we took the full news feed.  (over 32,000 
groups)  Disk access was so continuous across the whole array it sounded like 
white noise almost or tens of computers at full boot hitting their disks as 
fast as they could.  I was happy to sell off that part of the business, lots of 
hardware burn for little money.

gives a whole new meaning to burning a disc.

The only thing to watch out with WD is they ship some shady batches at times.  
They are good about replacements though and as mentioned, the customer service 
is quite good.  I used to find IBM the best back in the day, WD drives would 
burst in to flames on my news servers, but most would do to the seriously high 
load.  Especially for external drives WD is a pretty good option.

Never thought I would see this day, but it has come.  For once I have to agree 
with David.  Western digital are the best JMO.  I have 2 network attached 
storage devices by them, and 2 external USB hard drives.  One of which I am 
running a copy of mavericks on.  And none have ever failed me.  Not saying they 
are perfect, cause nothing is.  But my experience with WD has been better than 
with anyone else’s brand.  Great customer service too, and gives 2 to 4 years 
warrantee on their products depending on what size it is.  HTH

H andy,
 
I guess this depends on how much music you have and what the size of the hd in 
the mbp is.  almost all external usb hds are good.  you can't go wrong with 
western digital as a start.

            Hi all, I am thinking of transferring my music cooection onto my 
macbook pro.  To safe memory would it be better for me to save this collection 
on anexternalstorage device?  If so can anyone tell me which would be more 
compatible with the macbook?
 
Thanks
 
Andy
