Contemplating a 500gb 1TB External HD

Options
Hi everyone i'm not to technically savy, I currently have a 320gb External hard drive and it's just not enough for all the video games I cary around, music, films and all the rest of it. I was wondering what the best price is for a 500gb or 1tb hard drive. The best price i've seen so far is a 1TB hard drive for £64.99, can anyone beat that?
Cheers
Alex

    I'm sure we do one.. ah yes, http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/wd-elements-external-hard-drive-1tb-03661634-pdt.html (make sure to reserve it online, it's more expensive in store).

    When you say "carry around", bear in mind that most 1TB drives are 'desktop drives': they are bigger, and require plugging into power. If you're just after something that you can carry around in your pocket, you'll most likely be limited to 500GB (look for a 'portable hard drive')

    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
