Post by: Rod Paradise on September 23, 2009, 10:37:08 AM Recently bought a terabyte one from http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Ebuyer-Express-Shop_Hard-Drives_W0QQ_fsubZ1168923018QQ_sidZ820611668QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322 (http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Ebuyer-Express-Shop_Hard-Drives_W0QQ_fsubZ1168923018QQ_sidZ820611668QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322) for £55. It's worked fine & was delivered 24 hours later.
Looking at the listings now the same one is about £70 - but they might be worth keeping an eye on if you're in no rush. Title: Re: External Hard drive.

Also worth looking into is the ones which connect to wireless networks, as you have a laptop you won't want a hard drive connected to it all of the time so it would be good to have access to the hard drive anywhere in the house even though its tucked away somewhere Title: Re: External Hard drive.
