I bought Western Digital in 2012,I still have it now. It has never crashed before. External hard drives crash alot. The best brand is the one you can depend on that your data will be saved. I bought it in a shop in December 2012 ,500gb at N12k.
I have files on it I collected in 2013 during my NYSC. I have like 5 HDDs,and to me WD is the best.
