Doesnt seem a bad deal to me.
From what I can find a Maxtor 160gb hard drive internal drive alone is £38, by the time you have bought a cheap housing for it and paid postage your going over Plays price, so on that note - for the money, not bad at all!0 -
Always try and get something like this to back up your data. I have a toshiba , but dad may get one of these and through quidco as well.0

I've had the 250gb one for about 6 months and had no problems. Not sure how loud it is as it is much quieter than my PC!0

I've got one of those external drives.
Had mine for about 6 months, not any problems with it at all - and it's very quiet.
The only thing I'd mention is that it runs very warm - far warmer than my other external drives.Not everything that's cheap is a bargain0
