Hi Rod, The best value external drives are really 160/200/or 250GB, with 250GB offering the lowest cost per GB. The prices differences between 2MB and 8MB drives are minimal and when you consider your getting a 3yr warranty on 8MB drives instead of 1 yr on the 2MB drives, this is definitely the b

the Australian iTunes shop issue is more likely to be one of getting Apple being able to negotiate with or around the larger local music industry types, who as we've seen with the CD import issue, are fiercely parochial and self protective of the rather cosy little money spinner they've got.
