Re: Hardrive prices.....
Portables sadly tend to be slower drives (not always of course). There is not a lot of ways to find out what you are getting till you crack the case. :\ Luckily for me and for now till I fill my 2Tb, I managed to get a 2Tb and two 1Tb a few months back. Thank god too or I'd be in the same boat OP.

As for them being slower, yes portables are sometimes 5200rpm. But most of the ones made recently are not, due to the silly low HDD prices past few years they've been using regular old drives.
Quick google before you buy to find what HDD's they use and you're sorted.
BP, go to your local Curry's/PCWorld they have 1.5TB drives in for £65 currently (portables) but there 3.5" 7,200rpm drives

I know the WD external drives normally use decent internal drives. But, for an extra £10 why not have a NAS, infact I want a NAS. The HDD is a decent speed drive as well.
