I recommend Comodo Backup or GFI Backup (incremental) both free and better.
Hardly need the pop-up for any drive, clearly shows in red in explorer (My Computer).
Sounds good, they are probably better now, the WD I have (40Gb) is so noisy compared to my Seagate of the same age. Also have an old Seagate 4 Gb...
I buy Seagate Barracuda internal drives* from DirectCanada or Tiger Direct, most reliable for the price. I have some USB drives as well, 3...

Just got re-acquainted with an old friend: Driver Max, great app to back-up, update and restore your drivers, free!
