I have an internal 1TB drive with all my images on, and then an additional external 1.5TB drive which I have everything backed up onto. I'm also planning on getting an extra internal drive to set up a ghost.

I realise you wont get a 1Tb one for that sort of money but the extra flexibility the drive will give him should compensate for the reduced storage space.

I need to stop reading things so quickly... I missed that bit!
Although, for £80 you can easily get a 1TB external drive... the prices had rocketed because of the earthquake in China a short while back (at least, I think it was the one in China...) but they seem to have settled down a bit now. Take a look on ebuyer.com and there's quite a few to choose from - you can sometimes grab some real bargains on there. My external Samsung 1.5TB was only about £70 from them, I seem to recall...
