could it just be that if she wants to use it on a laptop the one you have is too bulky? personally i have one of these http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141558 they are good because.

1. they are small(fit in my palm)
2. dont need external power(powered from usb)
3. come in all different colours and hdd sizes, my 320gb is enough for what i use it for, plus i have 2x1tb at home anyway (and 4x500gb in pc)

maybe thats just the thing?

Hi Nathan, that's not it.  She only uses that laptop in the house in the front room.  The main computer (my desktop) is upstairs which is where my external HDD is.  I've told her it can live downstairs though, because I don't very often use it.  She's adamant she needs her own one downstairs though        She's paying for it though, she just wants to know which one to buy...

That might not look pretty enough for SWMBO!!  

Avoid all this  - go for a Mac!
No external hard drive, quiet as a mouse, and customized for my needs. No complaints here folks!

I think she's toyed with the Mac idea, but it was a no-goer...  

I wouldn't know about Macs though, I've never used one    

I was in the same boat too, but a very good mate, who's a big-time  Mac user converted me. Whilst I'm certainly no IT expert, I've not looked back. Suits me fine, but 'each to their own' I suppose!

I'll look into it when the laptop finally dies     8-)

Not worried about noise to be honest, can just turn the tele up
