Hi there,
My hard disk is dieing and I want to have a external hard disk to back up my data.
I saw a 300GB external one selling at less then 80 pounds at dabs.com.
Is there any other alternative?

£80 for a 300Gb external drive is a good price (I am assuming it is USB2). If your hard disk is dying just beware that you can not necessarily boot a PC from an external drive therefore you may still have to replace the internal one (assuming it is your master bootable drive)
