I am after an External hard drive around 500gb. Not too bothered about firewire connection, and wanted to pay around £50-70 tops.
I have seen the earlier thread onthis topic also.

Thanks for the link Masseur, and i know you have the WD HD. Would you recommend the one you have, and did you research it alot when buying.

yeah, I've had the 500gb (which my son now has) and now I have the 1TB, both from the mybook series.
Can't say I researched them much as I bought mainly when I saw them on hotukdeals for a good price.
they're both still working perfectly and I've had no issues, so I guess I would recommend them
somehow though, even 1TB isn't enough these days...

Well I have just been and bit the bullet. 1TB Western digital My Book for £84.99 from Comet.
I thought for the £10 or so pounds extra, I might as well get the 1TB.
Thanks everyone for your help.
