Cheapest I could find the 'home' edition of this range. If you want an external 1TB drive with firewire or the eSATA interfaces then this seems like the best price. Note: if you only care about USB2 then this isn't for you, USB2 only drives are cheaper.

This model seems to be for sale at around £9 more...

Hi,

I'm looking in to getting my husband an external hard drive for Father's Day. Having read a lot of different deals on here I am not at all sure what would be best.

I think this is a fairly basic hard drive player/recorder, but at this price I think is a steal. If you can get PC world to apply price promise even cheaper!
