    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a reliable 2TB external hard drive in the market of 100GBP or less. I have a Fantom Green Drive II that works great, but I can't find them here in the UK.

    Here's my criteria:

    1) Has to be able to survive moves (I'll be flying overseas once, maybe twice) with it. My other external drives, the Fantom and a LaCie have done fine, but this is crucial. I suppose

    1a) Decently small, again it will have to go on a plane and I'd rather pay as little as possible (read:none) for excess bag fees.

    2) Reliable. Again, this just mirrors point one, I'll be backing up personal video that's irreplaceable and want a solution that can guarantee it will be there when I use it after a move.

    3) Around or less than 100GBP.

    4) Don't care so much about heat or noise, as long as its reliable. I like my Fantom because its low heat and "eco-friendly"... as far as drives can try to act, but that's probably not so much my goal with this drive.

    I'm currently considering Buffalo's JustStore 2tb solution, but not sure if it rates.

    Also I could be convinced into a 1.5tb drive if it can fulfill these qualities better than a current 2tb drive.

    Thanks :)
