First one, as you get a looong warranty on it. And tbh, pushbutton backups aren't all that great - I'd personally never use it.

thanks for the info, the only reason i asked is it was a few extra quid for a bigger hdd and all pre made together, but i see ya point on warrenty and thats good

 

[smids]

That was my personal opinion though, and you ought to look at practicality - but that is what I would do

I went for Option 1.
