I'm after something physically small and manageable thats at least 250GB. Its specifically for storing photos while travelling so something along the passport type would suit. They're €100 for 320GB on most websites, excluding delivery. I hope I can do better than that. Thanks!

Keep an eye out, or send a message to this seller on Ebay. My friend and I just got 3 WD Passport 500GB ELITES for about €110 each (they are about €190 here for the 500gb elite). Seller is excellent and very willing to help if you have any special requests. We had ours shipped to my friends hotel when he was over there but she does ship internationally. Drive is perfect, highly recommend. She'll also accept a haggle

Sheesh, price of that has dropped considerably since I last looked (only a few weeks ago!). Bear in mind the dabs one will come to about €125/€130 delivered and the one on ebay I'd say you could get for €100 delivered. The one I got from ebay was an elite, the fancy one, the one on dabs is the essential.
