I really could not say.
I know of the manufacturer and think they make decent stuff but I guess it's all about what you are prepared to pay for portability.
I think the price per gig is way too steep personally. You can get a 750gb external drive for that and granted it's the size of a hefty book and weighs a lot more but it will go in a briefcase or a manbag no problem.
I'm pretty sure Freecom do a 320gb pocket for about £60.
I'd suggest he searches the web for reviews about durability because most of these won't take being dropped a lot.

Various suppliers
are doing 1.5 Tb drives now, for ridiculous prices.

Yeah.
Not so many as externals. I was just trying to equate the price to an external. If he was to spend the money on an internal he'd easily find 1TB for that cash.

Yeah.
if he can live without sticking it in his pocket then I can recommend this. I have 4 of them and 3 of the previous 320gb models ( which I pad about a fiver more than the current 500gb price just over 12 months ago )
