    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper I've been Money Tipped!
    Basil: Thanks. The Comet one only seems to have a 1 year guarantee? whereas elsewhere it is quoted
    as 2 years.

    PCWorld have the second one for £56.61. This is also in silver. The advantage (apart from being
    PCWorm!) here being that I can order online and collect in store (nearby). Both Dixon and PCWorld
    currently offer free delivery but I'd rather buy instore if possible.

    cybergibbons: Siskyline mentioned previously that the first one doesn't have a fan. Thanks.


    So, it looks down to whether I need a 2 year or 5 year guarantee by the look of it:)

    Neither descriptions mention Windows 7 but I would hope these are compatible (I would ask before I buy anyway).

    Thanks everyone:T

    Nearly every external HD I have ever bought can be stood in both orientations - none require that they are stood up on end.


    Ok then smartar5e, you know what I'm getting at.
