# I really could not say.
I know of the manufacturer and think they make decent stuff but I guess it's all about what you are prepared to pay for portability.
I think the price per gig is way too steep personally. You can get a 750gb external drive for that and granted it's the size of a hefty book and weighs a lot more but it will go in a briefcase or a manbag no problem.
I'm pretty sure Freecom do a 320gb pocket for about £60.
I'd suggest he searches the web for reviews about durability because most of these won't take being dropped a lot.

# Various suppliers
are doing 1.5 Tb drives now, for ridiculous prices.

# Yeah.
Not so many as externals. I was just trying to equate the price to an external. If he was to spend the money on an internal he'd easily find 1TB for that cash.

# nah
he wants an external

# Yeah.
if he can live without sticking it in his pocket then I can recommend this. I have 4 of them and 3 of the previous 320gb models ( which I pad about a fiver more than the current 500gb price just over 12 months ago )
