Glossy Retail Box

That has gotta be a WINNER

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

[cardboard]

no, no I haven't got one.

nor have i - and i probably will not be getting one in the near future

 

[Uncle C]

Mine is bigger than yours

I settled on one of these recently to store my music.

1TB for just over £200

I am also looking for one but with a minimum 400GB... but the fact you get a screwdriver with it must compensate for the lack of storage...

 

[Dave the OAP]

to be honest its only needed to save photo's I dont need something huge

 

[maffew]

you can probably double that storage for an extra tenner if you shop about (though sounds like you dont need it)

 

[Bozza]

At 160gb it's likely to need it's own mains power too.

I'd either get a smaller one that can run off USB power alone or, if you're going to have to take the pain of mains, get a bigger one (c500gb) so that you don't need to bother with upgrading in the not too distant future.

I got a 320gig Seagate external hard drive from Maplins last week for £55. 5 year guarantee. Nice value.

I've got a 400gb Freecom thingy - £80

Excellent
