What External HDD
Discussion
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.

All my external hard drives are icyboxes containing Hitachi Deskstar drives, basically you want a drive with a transfer rate of around 400mbps as that's the USB 2.0 specification speed, so something like this:
Hitachi Deskstar 500gb
or this:
Hitachi Deskstar 500mb
Combined with this [url]Icybox|http://www.icybox.com.tw/page/3.5_products/3.5_ib-371stus2b.htm[url] will be perfect.
