I am going to buy an external hard drive anywhere from 500gb to 1tb is what I require. What i want to know is whether I should buy ready made drive from the likes of iomega lacie or WD or should i have one built with a normal hard drive and a case. Also should I get a 1tb drive i hear they can have a few problems. Also should i buy a 2.5 inch portble drive or a 3.5 is there a differance in speed and reliability. is usb 3.0 worth it?

Any help advice and suggestions would be much appreciated

no use having a usb3 drive unless you have a usb3 card or ports. 2.5" drive doesn't need an external power source wereas 3.5" does. go with normal drive & case.
