Hi guys
Anybody any ideas where I can buy a 500 GB or 750 GB external hard drive which has an external power supply?

Think I read here Easons are doing 1tb Seagate Drives for €100, not a bad deal that for a B&M

I'm using a 1TB WD that I got last year on amazon for around 60 yo yo with the Ariva stb and it works fine. It was a Bargain Alert at the time.

Have little or no programmes 'stored' for long term use on it so maybe down the road that may be a problem but it wont effect me.

Check the speed of the drive. a 7200 drive might be taking more power than a 5400 from the USB port.
