Thanks for the input guys. Have pretty much decided to buy a pair of
Western Digital My Book 500GB Home Edition drives which are on special
offer down here for 88 euros (approx £78 sterling, US$113). These have
USB + Firewire + eSata connectivity which gives me some options and
should keep me go
Two suggestions, buy a Nas that will run two disks mirrored. There are
several like the Linksys NLSU2 and Dlink DNS323 for about twice the
price of a 500 gig disk. Do your homework though, some units have quite
slow transfer rates.
Do you have a spare pc? You could try FreeNAS from www.freenas
