Following up on my post last week about Xbox One compatible external drives, boxing day up here in Canada has a bunch of good deals on them. Keep in mind that prices in Canada are often considerably higher than in the US.
Below are the best sub-100$ deals I've found (I don't want to spend more than $100), which one should I get? I've heard that Western Digital is more reliable than Seagate, but I've also heard the opposite... which is true?
$69.99 - 1 TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra USB 3.0
$79.99 - 1.5 TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim USB 3.0
$89.99 - 2 TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim USB 3.0
$99.99 - 2 TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra USB 3.0
Note: prices do not include tax (13%)

I have a 1tb my passport ultra. It's a great deal. I plugged it in and the Xbox did the rest. Got a lot more space now
-
I have to 2 TB passport ultra and it works great. I'll I did was plug it in and my xbox took care of the rest.

I had a 1 tb Seagate that crapped out on me in a year but I moved it around d a lot. Had mostly movies on it. Lost 100 gb of movies. Kinda sucked.

Western digital is a better brand, but obviously you'll be paying a bit more on average for them. Seagatecis fine, just more likely to fail according to many people. But for gaming purposes you should be fine with it. Also look into Toshiba hard drives if possible. Very reliable, smaller, and can usually find great deals on some of their models.

I just bought a 3tb seagate and it works pretty good, still i did heard that it has some problems so i"ll have to be wary.
-
I have been hearing bad reviews about Seagate. Mostly from my brother who is a tech savvy in the military. He has been telling me that Seagate gas been unreliable for him the few times he has gotten one.

Next year I'm driving to Canada after Christmas.

I have the 2tb Seagate. Heard rumors about failures, but it's been great for over a year. I delete, reinstall, move from external to internal, and never a problem. Happy "Boxing" day?!?

Damn that is expensive. I found a 5tb sea gate on Amazon about 4 months ago for $140.

Im from canada aswell, considering getting one of these, since the 500gigs went pretty quick. is it as simple as inserting into the usb drive, and just start using it ?

Both companies are really reliable
