Re: External hard Drive / Disk - Cheapest price ?
I think Digital Photo mag tested external HDD's recently. Remember the LaCie Porsche Design 500g came out as best buy, based on a number of factors including read/write speeds, but probably not the cheapest. I think they do smaller drives that are a bit cheaper.

Re: External hard Drive / Disk - Cheapest price ?
It's very tempting, isn't it?
The trouble is that I keep succumbing every time I see an offer like that, and I'm going to have to buy a 1DsMkIII to fill them up.  |

I bought another 500GB the other day and have half filled it with junk already. So that's about 85% of 2TBs full now then...

Re: External hard Drive / Disk - Cheapest price ?
The the burning question is how did we ever manage with small HD's and why do we still fill up huge ones in no time at all

Negatives didn't use so much disk space.
