    Hey I want an external hard drive that i can carry around but needs not necessarily be the smallest most compact. Also it has to be as much space as possible in it and USB 2.0, would appreciate some help. Searched kelkoo a bit but dont know whats the best brands/sites to buy off.

    Cheers

    we're using one of the maxtor one touch ones ... now they possibley aren't the best prices out there but it should give you an indication and I've always found komplett to be pretty good ...

    next drive I'll be getting will be one of the NAS ones ...

    so I don't need to have a pc on for it to be on :) can just plug it into my router

    Good find. Let us know how you get on when you receive your drive. I'm interested to know well these drives work. Very good value. Do you know what type of hard drives they use in them - Maxtor?

    didnt see the other ones, on second thoughts that site is better, the hd are smaller than komplett. Portability is essential. I'll let u know what i get and how good it is :D

    @ irishpal25

    I see the envizage website has the option for a promotional code when your ordering. Any idea where you can get one??

    Cheers
