Cheapest lightweight 500mb(ish) external hard drive for travelling

diable

Any drive that you will be using whilst travelling should be robust and be able to take a knock or two so I would not go for the cheapest one on the market as the safety and integrity of your data is far more important.

Yes, sorry about that. Didn't read it properly. Maybe I could make amends.
How about this one? 11cm x 8cm x 1.6cm, weight 110g.

Good price for a 500GB

Don't forget to go via Quidco as well

Why not just use a USB pen drive? I've got a 25 gig one.

Because the OP wants something around the 500GB mark maybe?

And since the cheapest 32GB (can't find a 25Gb version) is £50+ then a 500GB 2.5 HD @ £55 must be more cost effective and is still a manageable size.

Though their opening post suggests 500mb ...which would easily fit on a pen-drive. (I suspect they made an error)

Hmm that would be a good reason, though it would have been nice if the OP had actually said that.

But yes you are right, mine is 32gig, not sure where I got 25gig from.
