[url= http://www.lacie.com/uk/products/product.htm?pid=11501 ]I got one of these a couple of months ago for backing up everything on my iMac. It seems to do the job ok as far as I can tell - plug it in once a week and it does it's thing. Same amount of memory as the computer I think. It's about the size of a cassette box from the olden days.[/url]

(I know you mean what size of memory, I just put the actual size bit for your information, I'm not a retard).

Just bought a 2TB Buffalo external HD from dabs.com

Came to £72 including shipping and arrived in two days. Seems fine so far - did a fair amount of homework (i.e., googling) before parting with me hard earned. Would link to it, but dabs site seems to be undergoing maintenance...

Up 'til now, most of my (many and varied) drives have been Seagate and Verbatim. They've been fine too. Some of the older (five year old) Seagates are getting a bit noisy, but I do tend to browse them a lot, looking for badly catalogued film scans.

That [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0036B78BO/ref=asc_df_B0036B78BO2154137?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0036B78BO ]BUFFALO[/url] one I first mentioned seems to be the best value for a well reviewed drive right now though...
