Agri-student recommends these,says they are a good make,I'm using one.

Size wise he says 1 TerraByte would last you for a good while.

Get the biggest you can find/afford.

Try this for size. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/168235

You won't go far wrong with it. If I were going to buy one this is what I would buy. Not only could I fit every file from every PC I have ever owned on it, there would still be room for both series of Jonathan Creek in HD Video.

Portable hards are around 2.5", but you can stack them if you feel like it.

She's always smiling when you are around Lassy - that's cos she's a lezzer, and fancies you. As do I Wink Laughing She rarely smiles at me - sometimes I get a slightly pained look if I tell her a joke. Mostly, she just scowls though
