    Hello everyone, just looking for your advice on purchasing a new external hard drive.

    Looking for one with minimum capacity of 500GB, and anything up to 1TB would be fine.

    Can anyone make any recommendations of what/what not to buy?

    Also any feedback on transfer rates etc. over USB 2.0 (what ill be using) would be great!

    Im in the UK by the way.

    Thanks!

    My 2 cents is to go with Seagate Freeagent. And all their new drives are supposed to be out in the next 2 weeks.
