You should be able to attach any size of external HDD to your T43. :)

I have used a Lacie external HDD for a few years. However, I am considering the purchase of a network HDD so it can be used, wirelessly, by either my wife or me. They seem a bit pricey at present so I'll wait and see if the economic depression brings the prices down.

There is no external eSATA connector on a T43. You can use USB or a network cable.

I just checked,T43 doesn't have eSATA n FIRE WIRE connector.SO my only option is USB(Data transfer) based External Hard DD.
Plz suggest me some Good USB based HDD with decent speeds.
@killer thanks for the info mate.
