    Get any you want and get one of these USB 3 to sata connectors for a few quid. I have an old laptop 2.5" hard drive I use with this. Can also get any of the SATA SSD deals you see on here. Or go to CEX and get an old 2.5" hard drive. 3.5" ones need separate power connection.

    I've not really found anything great recently to be honest. The best I've seen was a 2tb ssd for around £70. I did find a 30tb hdd for £75 but hukd took down the post, I think because it might be a dodgey site.
