It's good for what it is but if I had 2TB of storage I would not go down the USB 2.0 route. With USB 2.0 it would take forever to fill up due to its very slow file transfers. USB 2.0 is fine for Memory Sticks, but for large amounts, I think not.
I would either go for internal drives, ethernet or USB 3.0

No point in buying a USB 3.0 drive if he hasn't got a 3.0 capable motherboard.

Nah you can get PCI Cards for USB 3.0 for about £30 these days, considering the speeds I'd consider it worth it for a external HDD.

If the external isn't going anywhere you may as well buy an internal on. External HDDs are on really good for chucking around files all the time, and having 2TBs of files to chuck around all the time is quite impressive

I decided to keep the hard drive and keyboard/mouse on hold.
I rather build a brand new computer with heckles of space, I be making a new thread later on hopefully.

Yeah they're fairly common in the UK, they make USB sticks, writable CDs etc etc. Originally Posted by Colin-Roberts

Nah, cards are only about a pound cheaper than memory sticks, they can be damaged and lost ever so easily and by the time you put a case on one, they'll be bigger than a memory stick. Plus you also need to carry around a USB Card Reader which often requires drivers and can be quite big. Originally Posted by The Professor
