I'm in the market for a new External HDD.

I currently have a 500Gb 2.5" Buffalo one which I'm happy with.

Need a new one for extra storage/backup, and I want to empty my netbooks HDD so it runs faster.

Anyone have recommendations? Most important feature is it's small and portable, so no 3.5" ones. I want 1Tb ideally too, the more the merrier.

Also I'd prefer it to be under £100 but I think most 2.5" 1Tbs are around £130ish, which I don't mind stretching too if it's good. Need reliability too, I know a few 1Tb ones cock up.

I guess Googling is the only way to work out which one have hitachi drives?

Was hoping someone would recommend one they've already bought, thanks all the same though.

Silent1 - that's a 3.5" drive. It might be better technically, but portability is more important for it, so weight and size needs to be lower.
