    Hey Folks

    Looking to pick up an external hard-drive to use with my laptop.

    Want a decent size memory min:500gb And capability to use on a T.V

    Speed: not too bothered about this (should I be?)

    Am pretty clueless regarding technology so all advice appreciated.. :(

    Which site to buy from??

    Thanks in advance.

    Budget: Max 200e

    get the argosy media player .500gb or 1tb version.it has full remote control,connects to tv thru,scart, rca in ,or full YR PR BR HI DEFINITION,if you have a hd tv.its usb 2.o very fast, look at maplins.co.uk, or peats.com ,or google it.
    ITS very fast if you just wanna use it as a usb drive.it has a great remote control,it plays most media ,files,avi, wmv etc.will work on any tv that has rca,or scart ,eg sd tv.
    weighs about 2lbs ,size 6inch by 5inch approx.

    Yep, you'll be able to connect the hard drive up to the tv and watch the videos stored on it on your tv.
