Morning all, thanks to all who advised me on the purchase of an external hard drive. after a great deal of help from this list and other sources, I have decided on a Freecom 500 GB drive which cost me £67.99 inclusive of delivery. I'm sure it will suit my needs very well. Thanks again to everyone who provided adice and information.
