Hi Andy.
Depending on where you're planning to site your external hard drive, you
might want to take a close look at the specification to ensure it's going to
be quiet.
I'd recommend the Toshiba hard drives which are a fanless design and so
produce a negligible amount of noise when placed in your living room.
PC world do stock the Toshiba's or at least they did a couple of months ago.
You can also order online from toshiba.co.uk and get the same drive for £5
to £10 cheaper.
Regards.
Kevin
