If you only need 1TB they are only £54.97 on amazon

might make more sense to buy a 1TB now then replace it when full with a 2TB as prices of 2TB will have dropped by then
Remember to always have more than 1 copy of everything as backup

Thanks Mark - wandered in to PC World and they have the 1TB for £59.99 so for the extra fiver I got it there (easier to return if it does fail within the 2 year guarantee period and means I don't have to faff around collecting from the post office if I'm not in.) Looks nice, is silent in operation and cool - as has already been said. Really is Plug 'n' Play (if you are a Windows user.) Now undertaking the laborious task of moving 250GB of music - which should be easy, but never is because of the inevitable odd corrupt file. Then intend to leave the old 250GB one as is as a backup for most of the music, and possibly pick up another WD next month to run two in tandem for redundancy protection.
Thanks again everyone for your input.
