Buying an external HDD

[StellenboschStudent]

I am in the market for a new external hdd to store movies and crap on.
After a bit of searching, I found these:

or
http://www.3stechnology.co.za/freecom-640gb-external-25-mob-xxs-usb-drive-p-913.html

Anyone that can share better deals? Willing to pay R1200 max, not sure if I want 2.5" or 3.5"... I will also have access to external power, so I guess 3.5" would be better option, but 2.5" is nice to travel around with.

Just don't buy a WD My Passport drive - it contains a rootkit which wastes space and fscks with your computer.

Either this - Seagate 1TB Freeagent

or a - Samsung 1TB hdd and one of these - Vantec enclosure

Think I am going for the verbatim 1.5TB (http://www.buy247.co.za/products.php?productsid=4851)
Looks like the best deal for me.
