Hello hel8itch


I've moved your thread to the 'Techie Stuff' board, where it should get more views and responses.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [email="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/email].

200gb for £20?!?!?!?! He's lieing

The best i've done was 300gb for £105 from amazon.co.uk made by ATMT.

It's a fantastic device. remember though you're not getting 300GB as such.. more 280gb due to 1024 bytes been per megabyte etc...

How about the Lacie Porsche 250GB/USB which is a quality external hard drive for £75.99p hard to beat

The LaCie 250GB P3 USB2 Hard Drive USB2 is a worthy successor to their bestselling d2 model. This is an extraordinary external hard drive. The disk capacity of 250 GB ensures instant transfers and its storage capacity or appearance does not disappoint.

With a rotation speed of 7200 rpm, transfer speed of up to 400 Mbits/s and a cache of 8 MB, the P3 allows you to store large numbers of files quickly and efficiently.

There is more to the slim metal chassis (designed by F. A. Porsche) than you think. It is a heat-deflecting alloy that increases the life span of your LaCie P3; the hard disk can also be positioned vertically, ensuring that you really do save space either on your desk or in a rack. As it cools without the use of a fan, the P3 works discreetly, hence the comparison to a "silent partner".
