Looking to spend around 40 odd quid on one for backup. Are there any brands to avoid or to buy?
Not a lot to choose between them. Personally I'd say spend a touch more and get a portable 2.5" drive based one, a bit more convenient as they won't need a power supply.
Depends how you're using it exactly though of course - it's handy for me to have my backup drives portable.
Cheers - anyone else got any recommendations?
I've got a lacie rugged, can recommend. It's quite, fast and works.
I got one of [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100GB-2-5-External-Portable-Hard-Drive-USB2-7200RPM-UK_W0QQitemZ140368456073QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_HardDrives_RL?hash=item20ae9ca989 ]these[/url] - works fine. Buy the 80gb version and 100gb! Go to Smartdiscs shop to find it.
cheers
