I'm looking for a HDD so that I can keep a record (for reference) of the work that I have done, i.e. so that I can refer back to it in future (it's currently on a server and mixed up with other peoples stuff - I just want mine)

I reckon there is possibly about 1100 GB of stuff I might want - so to me it makes sense to go for a 2TB portable drive which gives me some capacity to add to it as I go (1100GB is about ten years stuff, but file sizes are increasing as the technology gets better) - so maybe 2TB will give me another 5 years?

Looking around the 'My Passport' series looks to be quite good, and they have a 2TB device out there for about £99 ATM.

Does anyone have any horror stories about My Passports, or advice that might make me look at something better?
