Hi,
I'm looking to buy a fairly small external HD (travel size) with the a fairly good capacity (160GBish) for backing up work and taking it to and from uni.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Cheers.

Buy a 2.5 inch Laptop hard drive and put it into a 2.5 inch caddie. Easy to do.

I agree with Koolpc's recommendation for a 2.5" drive, and a 2.5" external enclosure
But when you're looking for specific product recommendations... there are just so many different options available, that you need to let us know your maximum budget
Thanks for the suggestions.
Taktak's suggestion of the western digital passport seems very nice, that's just the kind of thing I'm looking for really. Making one myself seems like a little too much hassle to not really make a saving.
My budget is about £40. I'm just looking for something really simple and reliable.
Amazon have a 120gb one on offer right now, I don't have enough posts to posts the link but if you search 'Seagate FreeAgent Go 120GB Hard Drive' you'll see it.
I know you said 160gig-ish but it might be worth a look since it's only £34.99 delivered
Cheers Eden. I went for the Seagate in the end; it looks really nice and had good reviews.
Cheers all!
I will also go and have look as well.
Besides, I also wonder what chipset they use inside the case.
