Correct me if I'm wrong but that isn't eSATA, that's USB.

I can only find eSATA drives for £100+

Best bet is to buy an enclosure then buy a hard drive to put in it.

Yeah, my techie neighbour said to get a raider ray or something, I couldn't understand him 'cos his kid was banging about. (basically internal HDDs that split/share the same files - more of a backup).

Well I basically mean use an internal HDD as an external HDD using an enclosure :P

E.g.
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149273 - £16.23
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173804 - £59.99

Yeah, yeah. I need to do some thinking into this RAID thing aswell :P I would probably pay £75 for the enclosure and hdd though, especially a 1tb ;)
