    PC World are doing great deals on externals right now. Maxter External 500 GB is 85 euro, 1TB is 130 euro (USB2). You could get better deals if shopped around. I know PC World have an agreement to sell Maxter peripherals and I have never had any problem with them whatsoever. Great brand. Owned by Seagate who also produce external drives.

    Before you buy a new one take the old one out of the case and try it direct cabled in the PC.

    My external 500GB Iomega died recently and at the weekend I took it apart and mounted it in the Pc and it's working like a dream. The built-in controller in the external case was all that died apparently. Only took a few minutes but saved me a lot of €€€€. I'm putting that one down as a win.

    Not sure if it's a great deal, but Maplin UK have a Maxtor 1.5TB HDD for £129 (roughly €156 excl. shipping).

    Dunno if they have a similar offer in their ROI stores.
