Network Drive please advise

[MG TF 135]

OK folks the time has come for me to move out of my parents house and i have a bit of a problem.

At the moment i have a 120GB internal hard drive in their PC tower which is wireless networked, enabling me to access it from my laptop.

I only own a laptop, but will be getting a new Linksys wireless router when i move in to my new place.

I want to get a network hard drive that i can access through the wireless router easily and efficiently.

So has anyone got any recommendations for a network hard drive about 250GB in size???

I've got a western digital netcenter plugged into one of my wireless routers wired ports. It has 2 usb ports on the netcenter and i have a printer operating from one of them. Means any PC on the Lan can print whilst all the others are off. Could also expand the storage by plugging in a usb drive.

It goes to sleep if not accessed for a while so the drive is not spinning all the time. You can set up access rights on folders but I've not bothered. It is our central backup but not the only backup.
