We need to buy a hard drive and I found this 1000GB one from Dabs for under £100: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=4YFD&SearchType=1&SearchTerms=hard+drives+external+1tb&PageMode=3&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=50131#findsimilar
Seems like a very good price! Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.:D

That's fine, also check out the My Book drives from Western Digital (WD), and try https://www.scan.co.uk for more prices.0

1 TB for under £100! Excellent!
I have a Lacie external Hard drive that has run problem free since I got it years ago, I would recommend them to anyone.
Mine is only 80 Gb though and cost nearly £70 at the time.0 -
A bare 1TB drive is a little over £80 last time I checked, so yeah, £100 for one in a caddy is about right.They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it0

Just remember, that when you store all your data on one big single drive and it goes belly up, then you have lost THE LOT ! Sometimes it pays to invest in 2 X 500G drives for safety sake.0

thanks for this highlighting this, I think I might buy the 1TB external hard drive too.
Don't forget to use a cashback site (topcashback 3% for dabs.com) and a cashback credit card (AmEx Platinum 5%) for extra savingsMS Stalwart. Used site for >10 years :jMake Do, Mend and Minimise member - focussing on upcycling/repurposing and sewing0 -

I would deffinately look into the Mybook drives, i bought one a couple of months ago, and because you can access the drive anywhere in the world over the internet, its brilliant.
And they are little more than standard drives.
I can now share my docs for work from home, work, abroad and with ophters as long as i have given them access.
