1000GB Hard Drive for under £100- any good?

harryharp

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.

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.

A bare 1TB drive is a little over £80 last time I checked, so yeah, £100 for one in a caddy is about right.

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.

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 savings

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.

Do you really need one with that much space though?
