    advice on these two external portable HD's

    Wonder if anyone out there could advise me on external hard drives, portable, without power:

    or

    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149256

    these seem like the best out there at the moment - these seems to be a fair amount of different in price.

    I'm no expert, but can anyone point out why the Iomega is more expensive? surely not just because of it being a bit smaller?

    any advice, much appreciated.

    Looking at our NZ price watch website, I note that I can buy a Hitachi 2.5" 500 Gb drive for £107, plus an enclosure for about £4, so the £100 price looks favorable. I've read some pretty scathing reviews of Iomega external drives, so take what note you will of that. See this re the Buffalo drive:

    I'd like to know what *brand* of hard drive is inside.
    G4 eMac 1.25 GHz, OS 10.4.11
    G3 iMac 600, OS 10.3.9
    G3 b/w 350, dual drives, dual OS, 10.3.9, 9.2.2
    Numerous peripheral gadgets, all working.
