    If you are on a set budget, you would need to consider having 2.5" as you internal HDD option as opposed 3.5" then you have more choice of receivers you can go for. What sort of budget do you have in mind?

    Oh you poor dear, sit down and take the weight of it must be exhausting LOL.
    That is the thing 3.5" Hard Drive support seems to be seriously ramping the price up, it's a shame the sponsor can't get hold of the Xtrend E8000 anymore, that would have been the droid you was looking for.
