External Hard Drives

Hi all,
My first post...
Whats the best deal for a external hard drive. I noticed one in Currys:
SEAGATE ST3320620U2-RK External Hard Drives 240892
This is £79.99
If I use 10% off with free delivery codes it works out £71.99
which is about £0.225 per gb
I went for the Amazon misprice, but my order was cancelled.
any good deals around?

PC World, who I wouldn't normally give the time of day to, are selling a 320GBSeagate external (USB2.0, 8mb cache, 7200 rpm) for £89. Maybe you can use Quidco and the collect at store option to shave a little extra off the cost.
Possibly the same one as in Currys??????0 -

Is it that bad? Was going to get it today, but none at our nearest currys store.
So......you don't recommend it at all?
thanks for any info.

No, not a recommended buy for a storage device.
You need reliability...........Western Digital or, erm, nothing.
Put it this way, how much value would you put on a warranty if your hard drive dies and your data is gone forever?You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky

Nothing wrong with Seagate hard drives - I've been building pcs for years and only ever buy Seagate Barracuda drives. Unfortunately, though, they seem to have a poor reputation for external storage.
You could always buy a drive and a caddy seperately - thats what I did. Price isn't much different but you can re-use the caddy if the drive ever fails0
