1TB External hard drive for €115

Stimulant · 2008-08-11 09:59:28

Just seen a Western Digital Elements 1TB USB2.0 for €115 on Komplett. Is this a very good deal or is there something suspect about its quality? http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=363148

I'd question the case's cooling abilities but I dont see anything too fishy about it.

Have a Similar Medion made drive. When reading from them they can heat up quite a bit but its relatively normal. If the enclosure has a colling fan, all the better.
