I will be leaving in October from the US for a one year Master's degree program in the UK (flying into Leeds/Bradford). I will be bringing my macbook and an external hard drive with me carry on. I have been reading that some people get their laptops and external hard drives searched by UK customs. Is that true?
Answer
Anything you carry across borders can be checked/searched by customs if they have a reason to suspect you are carrying illegal content.
Child Porn and other prohibited material can easily be smuggled across boarders so they can conduct a search if they want. It is highly unlikely they would though .

I'm overwhelmed with all the external hard drives there are out there. I did a lot of research too. I found a few external hard drives that looked pretty good, and I want to know which one is the best in your opinion.
1. Western Digital WDXMS1200TN Passport 120 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive
2. Seagate ST302504FDA1E1-RK FreeAgent Desktop 250 GB USB External Hard Drive
3. LaCie Rugged All-Terrain Hard Disk
Hi-Speed USB 2.0
80GB
Don't worry about the storage capacities, I just want to know which one is the best in reliability, quality, customer support, features, etc...
Thank you for your time and effort to answer this question.
(I will give the best answer 10 points)

Western digital and seagate are both excellent. Have had a 320gb western digital drive for the last three years and it still runs perfectly.
There is another kind of hard drive that works as a normal external hard drive should but can also connect to your tv via scart . That means, you can download your programs/movies on the pc and then watch them on your tv in comfort. I plan on getting one in the near future.
Heres a link showing an example. Worth considering i think.
