My laptop keeps running out of space on it's internal 500gb HDD so I decided to buy an esata (as my laptop has the port) external HDD enclosure. I'm not really clued in about HDD prices/specs though. ideally looking somewhere in the 1-2TB section Was considering this one if it's worth it: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/15TB...acuda-720011-SATA-7200-rpm-32MB-Cache-NCQ-OEM any help appreciated!
Spinpoint F3 1TB is CPC current choice. But your choice looks good also, here's a Toms hardware review.
The 11th generation (7200.11) of Seagate Barracuda's had firmware issues, so it might be worth your while to use something else.
