    Get the internal and strip out the drive and put it inside your PC and you now have a free external HDD case!

    bought one of these last week and its fine but the speeds arn't great .

    the power supply is small enough which is good if you are looking for it to be somewhat portable.

    must say I got a my passport essential from amazon last week, 500gb for 72 euro delivered all in and it has no power supply which is great, very small and portable if you are on the move. Havnig a power supply for moving about is a joke.

    Yeah, i'm leaning toward the internal tho... better speeds & less wires

    Thats only 5400rpm tho right? 7200 is the only way forward!

    I think it was yesterday's deal. Not sure if they sold out, check your nearest Aldi.
