My server is currently in limbo land while I work out what size HDD's to put in and what raid etc to use. And after importing Ernies 1hr long epic form my camcorder and it making a 45GB file!!!!! I are in need of some more space.

Want about 1TB or £75ish worth of space.
I've looked on Scan, PC world (they are winning ATM as I can get it tomorrow) but want to spend even less lol

http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=HET-1000PXU - £74

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150124 - £115 - But worth the extra money imo.

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142563 - £77 - 32mb buffer, which makes this one the fastest out of the 3. Meets your specifications & if you order within the next 23 hours you will have it on tuesday :)

Why a 1tb drive? Just a number you picked out of thin air or for willy waving down the pub? If I were you I would get a bus powered external drive.

This is the one I have (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149256)

If you wanted internal then you could easily get a samsung F1 drive for around £70, maxtor's are horrible things, noisy and don't seem to last long.
