Best external hard drive for these requirements

Thanks Clubman - was just interested in personal files for now - LAptop HD is full so am moving a lot of stuff onto a newly acquired 2.5" but might invest in a larger 3.5" just to back up all photos/movies/muisc just in case.

What I do every now and again with photos and music is to burn a DVD copy pf them as well.

You can never have enough copies of important things.
