    Looking to buy a 1tb portable hard disk and shortlisted 3 of them.

    Samsung

    WD

    Iomega

    Anyone any idea, which one will be better?

    Do you have a usb 3 port on you computer? If not I wouldn't fork out for any of them.

    WD is the most reputable brand of the three in my opinion, but I agree with cookie. If you don't absolutely need to transfer huge files very very quickly a cheaper USB 2.0 drive like this would do the trick.

    If I was to pick between one of the three you linked to though, I would pick the WD for the reputable brand name and shmexy colours :)

    I dont really have a USB 3 on my laptop, was just thinking about the future.

    I do take your point though, probably save some money. :)
