Im on the hunt for an External HDD as my MP3/Video collection is slowing the laptop down.

Only got 20Gigs +/- of MP3's so far but hoping to expand.

Whats your choice and why?

Little bit of help in that thread.

Basically may as well buy a larger one than you need as you're probably gonna fill it up
