    Don't want to spend too much, preferably about 50 quid but maybe a bit more if it's worth it.

    Definitely. They're great. I've had one for years now and I wouldn't use my PC without one.

    The route over the tops between Stanbury and Colne can be an absolute 'mare, especially when it snows.

    Internal or external dive?

    We picked up a decent external one from PC world - 300 gb - we use it as a back up drive at work. Have a look on their website

    I got a 500gb harddrive for backing up porn about 6 months ago, no problems with it at all. Maplins and Currys sell them I think, it was £79 inc VAT, but may be even cheaper at the mo.
