    I highly recommend a Western Digital, like this one - which is the 1TB version of the 2TB drive that I have

    Yes, I have got a Seagate one too and am happy with it
    I’m being extremely clever up here and there’s no one to stand around looking impressed! What’s the point in having you all?

    I have a Hitachi one (silver tower design) that I've had for about a year and had no problems with.

    I've gone with a Seagate 2TB one as it was available directly from amazon and was most affordable of the 2TB ones I looked at. Compared to the price of the 1TB drives it seemed like a prudent investment to pay a little more for twice the storage space. Having read the reviews of drives that go wrong I decided against buying from ebay.

    Thanks again guys for the advice.
