What is the best most stable Hard Drive for video editing in Final Cut
Pro?


Looking for 1 TB under $1,000 that is fast and won't have drive failures
while editing video.

I've heard bad news about Lacie, Western Digital, and Buffalo Terabyte
failing after 6 months from many people.


I need a drive that will last for video editing!

Drive failures are a way of life unless one coughs up the cash and buys into
enterprise level storage solutions.

With such a low budget you should think about how to reduce the problem of a
drive failure. I'd have a second drive to back up the important project
information i.e. a big firewire drive. A RAID with suitable performance for
video editing that provides fault tolerance will not come in at your budget
level.

I tend to use Western Digital drives but have also uses Seagate quite a lot.
They all fail eventually but to increase their life keep them cool...

 

I have all Lacie and they have worked great. No problems for 3 years! I
don't know current price on a terrabyte, but I just got a 320 gig for
around $250. I've had problems with Maxtor and I have a Fantom drive
that the fan does not go off when not in use.
