I have had a 250gb. a 500gb and now i just bought this 1tb drive and all have worked pretty good so far. There is an overheating issue sometimes but that is easily solved by unplugging it and letting it cool down and then reconnecting it. The two earlier models I have had for years (three i believe) and the 1TB for about six months and I got it cheap, on sale for 89.00
If you want some storage, on the cheap, get one of these, most of the times they are around the 100 dollar mark so they are cheap for being external drives of this size.
Just make sure there is plenty of ventilation for the drive or at least have a fan near it to cool it if you use it extensively, this is the only reason I am giving it a 4 out of 5
