Thanks for all the help. Now I just need to decide which make to go
for. My local computer shop recommended Buffalo which, it seems, is a
big company.

I've got a large set of external drives. The Western Digital ones are really good --- both the USB-powered Passport range (I've got some 320Gb ones, but I think they do larger ones too), and the AC-powered Elements range.

I've had problems with USB-powered LaCie disks that needed too much power (I was trying to use them with a laptop).

HTH,

Anthony
