External Drive Advice Please
 

OK, I want to get a reliable 1TB external drive using USB 2.0 for power source.

Speed is not critical as it's just for back-up and I can leave my PC copying for hours if needed. Windows XP.

I usually end up with E-Buyer but any recommendations welcome. Don't want to spend too much (obviously :))

Cheers, David

Get yourself a USB3 external dive if you can - assuming your PC has a USB3 port.
Way faster than USB2

Prob being xp it wont be, but yeah get usb 3 for when you uograde to that super mega new tower or laptop, i love mine.
I actually bought a caddy for 10 quid and popped in a spare drive i had , runs like a dream
