what 1tb external hdd...

[Unique]

scan has the 1TB samsung spinpoint with free fan for £83, so along with the esata icybox which comes with esata cable (mine just arrived today, neat tidy solid and as small as you could expect) you can get a 1TB esata fast external solid harddrive. you would find it hard to beat that

I would personally buy the caddy and hard drive seperatly that way if the caddy dies it's easier to take it out and put the drive into another caddy or connect to a PC. If you buy all in one and open it you void the warranty and are forced to send the whole thing back and kiss goodbye to your data.

Also go for one with esata and USB at least that way you have the option to use either connection but esata is a lot faster.

thats what im doing mate

No, it needs to be a Vista 64bit compatible ExpressCard

From the Scan page, Special Features tab: "• Supports 64bit / 32bit Windows Vista."

As for a drive being on all the time: I have left a 500GB Samsung in my AKASA running for over a week in a stretch without a problem. I use it as a temporary drive to rip and download to from my ols laptop.

Hi Funkstar , we have tested the Samsung 1T drive with out issue in all of our sata based enclosures .
No problems with heat - that why we use alumiumium chassis .
