Just recently start thinking about getting some extra space ...

And i'm not really sure which one should I pick :

Been thinking about these one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujitsu-Siemens-External-DeskTop-Drive/dp/B0017Q0Y34/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1224700030&sr=1-23

IS it any good ? The guy who wrote a review there says that it got WD drive which is not really that bad right ?

Also what about these one :

Iomega 33730 1TB External Hard Drive USB2.0 - Retail
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149355

or

Western Digital Elements 1TB USB2.0 External Hard Drive - Retail
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144824

EDIT :

I've just spotted this one :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-ESATA-External-Portable-SATA-1000GB-1TB-Hard-Drive_W0QQitemZ310092305861QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item310092305861&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Brand:
Sumvision + Maxtor

So it's probably Maxtor hdd inside ... also what make it a good it's a esata connection xD

I am a WD man myself. Important for me is if it has Firewire or eSATA. USB 2.0 is to slow for my taste. You will have to pay a bit more but there it is.

For example

1000GB Seagate FreeAgent XTreme eSATA/USB/FW


1000GB WD myBook HomeEdition eSATA/USB/FW

And "Sumvision"...never heard of. Looks like value ware to me. Be careful with stuff like that, especially on Ebay. Only my 2 cents.
