Only problem is, i dont have my invoice . I have someone elses from Reading?
Not the first time this has happened with tesco either.

Anyone else have an invoice for the correct item , just wrong home address.

But they've been selling a 1TB one for under £70, which is a far better deal.

I know it's slightly OT but has anyone out there bought one of these?
Tempted at that price?

Just bought one after it was originally mentioned on here, seems really good.

This is the actual one:

but through Tesco Direct here

It really seems to be a good bit of kit at the price.

Is it firewire? The reason I ask is because firewire is superior to USB 2.0 speed-wise, and if its firewire that will be the clincher for me....

I think you may have got it wrong again. This is the hard drive being sold by Tesco.

It does not have Firewire. The official bandwidth of USB2 is greater than that of Firewire 400, but due to the nature of USB2 it often results in lower real-world transfer speeds.

I meant the item that Prowla had mentioned NOT your original item, but have just ordered one of these as well as they are now back in stock.
