Well no replys as yet, I ended up going for a Maxtor USB/FW Combo 500GB external drive. Maxtor even said that this drive comes with EMC Dantz Retrospect Express but it doesnt it comes with Maxtor Backup software which cant backup system files just like the 500GB USB model I had a few months ago which I sent back to the online retailer. This one I have also looks deemed to be sent back as it is advertised as coming with Retrospect Express.
The Western Digital looks promising as I have had this responce from them
