it is 20 quid cheaper than ive seen it anywhere else, so if you're looking for a 160 gig drive it is a great deal. but you still probably get better value per megabyte by buying a 400 or 500 gig drive. (which is probably why have starting reducing the prices of the smaller drives like this one.)

Blimey that is good, shame it doesn't have FireWire too!

Thanks, just bought one after much consideration. Just what I've been looking for, at a price that I can understand. Will report back once received and working. Apparently the reviews say it's really easy to copy my existing laptop 40gb over... We'll see. Once I've done that I should have about 100gb to play with. :j

Sorry if this is already posted but I had a quick scout about and didn't see it. That must be the cheapest I've seen for a brand name.

looks pretty darn cheap - need something like this for my laptop - although I have a crappy USB 1 interface..

sorry but does anyone know of a good external hard drive that connects to a routher via ethernet?

Hi

Just ordered one of these. Gotta be worth it if you've more than one computer or just need to backup a large hard disc.

Thanks to the op

Mine hasn't arrived yet sadly, so now I'm spending my time worrying about my laptop trying to start some programs from the c:drive after I've copied and deleted them to the new drive. Will this cause instability or system conflicts by running programs from a completely new drive, because my laptop still has a memory of their orginal locations??? In particular, iTunes, Sims, Audacity etc...... Am I even making sense anymore???

Maybe I'll get it tomorrow...

OGB03,

For most programs, details are stored within the registry during installation so moving an application to an alternate drive may cause problems - renaming the original program directories after transferring to new drive will indicate which ones will have problems. If you are just looking to move data such as audio/video files, you should be OK.

Unless you use something like Norton Ghost to copy the entire drive (including registry, the lot)
