QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 27 2010, 07:16 PM) I think most people are using WD Mybook elements? hmmm...so are these WD elements 5400rpm or 7200rpm? Any known bugs/complains so far from LYN owners ?For me personally I like to build my own drive. I have a few Samsung F3 1TB in Hornettek Hover SSC external enclosures. But if you don't want to do anything like that, I guess the WD Mybooks are rather good.  |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 28 2010, 01:22 AM) 5400RPM drives. Thx for the suggestion...owners of WD Elements...care to give some feedback?You're only using for storage, so it doesn't matter. More over you're transfering over USB, doesn't matter even more. |
