One of AP's major sponsors http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/ I use them
Seagate have a 1tb one for around $150.00 from a lot of stores. Try officeworks!

I have a 1TB Seagate USB external hard drive and can highly recommend it. You won't have to pay anywhere near $250.

If you really want to know what you are buying, just go and get yourself a HDD and a case. It is as easy as to insert the HDD and it's ready to go. Try AP sponser, Scorptech - you can pick up a ESATA case (way faster than USB2) for around $50 and a 1TB drive for around $110.

Thankyou guys
Oh I know that they come with an external pack... but that's the problem. I think my powerboard is full already....
Ahhhh....well that might be a problem. May have to go down the USB2 route - in that case like Rick said you can pick one up for $149 now at main stores for around $150.
I have 3x astone eSata cases, they are ok and do the cheap job at $30 each, but the power supply just died on 2 of them !
Going to get a dedicated 4 bay Raid enclosure now.

I have a WD USB2 external hard drive. It was cheap and it is good - I would buy again. I have always preferred Seagate drives as I have never had a dud Seagate drive (mainly with respect to building PCs as I have been doing for over 20 years). I would recommend either.
One point to note about external hard drives that don't have an external power supply is that they can be fussy over the quality of the USB connnection, especially when connected via a hub. Short, good quality cables and direct connection to the PC will overcome most problems.
MSY.com.au have low cost drives inc Seagate.

You can never complain about service from MSY, they have none. You have to know what you want.
They are good with warranty etc.
