[Gllug] external hard drive recommendations

[Richard Hall]

We use the Maxtor One touch 250GB drives for secondary backup on an 
encrypted partition.   I've been very happy with them so far.   Good 
solid metal cases which is good if you are moving them around a lot. 
The down side is they are quite heavy due to the robustness.   I don't 
have to carry them far so the weight is not an issue for me but it might 
be if you want extra storage for a laptop.
