Need external HD advice

I getting an external HD to backup my system on to.
Im thinking about this one, has anyone any opinions on it?
It has all the space i need at 500GB

Western Digital 500GB Hard Drive

 

I've got the 320 gig version and have had no problems with it. Had it almost a year

 

Cheers ib

 

And, it is "Smart and energy efficient"! :-D Looks like a good one. Amazing how cheap that stuff is now! But if you spend 31$ more you can get twice the storage...http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/sto...duct&fm=1&sm=11&tm=2&sku=035562&category_oid=

 

We all have to do our bit to save the planetLOL
Im only using 74 GB of 300 at the minute so i think 500 will be plenty

 

Hey, you only are using 74GB now, you never know! And the saving the planet part, see ya' in the hot button area on that one! :-D

 

its much cheaper to buy an internal hard drive and an enclosure for it.
