Hmmm, yes. I'm just after something pocket sized. Does the speed make a big diference?

Yea, but depends what you use it for.

If you want a small drive, get a 2.5" mobile USB drive.. then it's powered too off your computer (so no external power supply).

The ad looks a mess in Safari, so I wouldn't.

Get one from eBuyer or something!
