The 2TB ones are pretty pricey atm. The only one I know of is the Western Digital one.

How much data do you think you will need? Remember you can always buy HDs while in Korea.

500 gig EXTERNAL 3.5" are about 140k (in a hard case).
700 gig for about 200k (in a hard case).
1TB are about 250k (in a hard case).
2TB are out of this world.

I have not actually seen any 2.5" drives over 250 gig (even if I have heard of their existence).

Nope... you are off to Yongsan (terminal building or son-in plaza).

You can also get them in the I'Park (above Yongsan station) but you will pay 20% too much if you do.
