DON'T DO IT

Wait 5minutes I'll find one

EDIT: You can pick a 1TB drive up (assume you want this size as you linked to one) for around £40-45, you could either get a cheap case or buy one that already has the enclosure.

You can get a 1TB here for £49.99; http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176806

Or to save ordering you can get a 1TB WD Elements drive for £55 (in-store); http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/wd-elements-external-hard-drive-1tb-03661634-pdt.html

The WD drive looks a lot better - I haven't had much luck with any other brand of drives!

Thought that the link you posted was £79.99 - only bout £8 cheaper through the Amazon/Currys link but IMO they're better drives.

Already ordered, 1tb will be more than enough for now.
