External Hard Drive to buy?!

Post by satman83 »

Hey

Twas looking for a good external hard drive to buy for backing up data, those that
know, recent events have made this a must from now on :palm:

And was wondering whats a good one to buy within the UK (am not made of money so i wont
be paying the stupidly high custom fees).

My budget is around £60 and heres a few i have found so far, but just wanted your guys
thoughts on them :sohappy:

depends on:
do u need ur data all the time with u? go WD
or do u just want it laying next to ur computer? Go Seagate

The WD draws power through the USB while the Seagate has an external power supply
Hence the big difference in size, 320GB vs 1TB
