3TB External Drive Needed

Hi All,

I'm after a 3TB external drive.

Connector preferences in order would be

Thunderbolt
Firewire 800
USB 2.0

It's for my MacMini 2011 (no USB 3.0)...

Cheaper the better, What do you all recommend?

Id recommend the Seagate expansion 3tb - only USB2 but its dead cheap ** removed ** . ****** were selling the on ebay quite cheaply too.

****** being a high street electronics shop which i suppose could be classed as an OCUK competitor (if you're a bit stupid and want to pay more to get less ;-)

)

Thanks for the USB option.

Will USB 2.0 give me enough throughput for streaming video? Im guessing so, but want to be sure...
