I am thinking of getting an external harddrive for my laptop, has anyone any suggestions as to what I should get, size, price, make?

Is the laptop the only computer you're using, or is there also a desktop as well? If you've got a small network, the network attached storage ones arent too bad.

I got a 250 gig from the hellhole that is PC World for about £100. Unknown to me at the time, you can only use it on the network (by it's IP address) in FAT32. I wish someone had said that before I NTFS'd it for video. If you're planning on putting files under 4 gig (?) on it, it'd be fine.
Yep, laptop is the only thing I'm using, will be using it to back up my laptop hard drive, store photos and music
