it was on erm.. ebuyer.co.uk/.com or something..

im looking to buy one at the end of the month and he showed me one..
have a look mate think thats the right url

Anymore info on it?

Sounds interesting :)

matt gave me a link doug it was a 250gb one for about £75 looked pretty good!

i have got a Maxtor One touch 2 Usb2 + Firewire External 300gb hard drive.

Cought it off dabs for like £150 and it is amazing. Stores all my work films tv stuff etc without any effort and really quick transfer rates. But prob out of your price range!!!

i would definitely go for the iomega 300g if i had to choose between it and the toshiba

Are you all trying to tell me that the toshiba one is going to be shite?

^^ Host powered, so great for laptops (long as u got usb2)

Look into this aswell...lets you stack normal HDD's into this thing and make one massive external harddrive. Cheaper to upgrade the size in the future then :)

Oh...and its got a wireless option too, so you can connect your files to your network without the cable...probably slow that way tho, but the option is there :)

I use a Buffalo Linkstation to store all my music, videos, etc ,etc. Only things kept on my main HDD are installed programs. The linkstation plugs into my router and appears on my LAN. Easy to cary around and plug into other peoples networks! Also, using Ethernet interface...makes it faster than USB :)

Right I am looking at a couple portable hard drives at the moment and just wanted your opinion on them :)

First is a 160gb Seagate one from Maplin for £70

And the second one is a 320gb Toshiba one from PC world for £100

Now last night I spotted somthing of deffinate interest....
Its an Iomega portable harddive that acts as a media center, seems quite new as there is none on e-bay yet!

So out of those three what would you go for?
I like the idea that I can use the Iomega one to play stuff through my telly!! can be used as the media center type thing that I 'was' going to build :D

Any input is more than welcome, I am planning on ordering either of the first 2 in the next few days but if you recomend the third I will wait till they are more readily availible :)

Thanks
