With all the digital data we have these days, the need to back it up or risk losing it and the ever increasing amount of TV's that folk are buying these days that have USB ports and that are able to play data direct from external hard drives, I thought it worth pointing out this excellent deal from HDUK.
The Seagate 500gb USB 2.0 portable drive is £41.64 with the code provided and it's £35.39 via Quidco assuming it tracks.

The same code can be used through TCB as well by the looks of it. Only a fraction of difference on the cashback amount but of course they don't take an admin fee annually.

Not a good deal.
Recently picked up a New Fujitsu 1TB (1000Gb so twice as big) for £42.99 delivered from eBay, new from ebuyer. I have noticed they have slightly increase the price on eBay, but unsure why.
It is worth paying the extra £10, for the extra 500Gb. Modern day HD cameras will eat up 1Gb of memory easily.0 -

You may well have purchased a Fujitsu 1TB External/Desk Top hard drive for £42.99, but I doubt very, very much that you purchased a Portable hard drive and choosing to compare External/Desk Top hard drive pricing to Portable hard drve pricing is akin to comparing desk top PC prices to laptop prices.
