    Hello all,

    Mates hard drive has recently started to get the "click of death", and thus needs a new hard-drive. He'll be driving up to Belfast at the weekend for a gig, and thus shall kill two birds with the one stone by getting a new hard-drive up there.

    So, I'm looking for a shop in Belfast city that sells hard-drives. Preferably one that sells Western Digital, as I've gotten burnt by Maxtor, who are now part of Seagate (or the other way around).



    tl;dr - need a shop that sells Western Digital SATA hard-drives in Belfast city.

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Why not buy one down here? Or buy one on-line?

    Anyway, you aware this is not a good time to buy an internal HDD? Most of these are produced in Thailand and many factories are affected by severe flooding. Expect to pay twice the amount that they were going for a month ago...

    Sounds like you would be buying retail and online would be cheaper?

    I'm aware of this, as no doubt the online shops are. I'm hoping that the bricks and mortar shops aren't that up-to-date. Also, my mate will be needing one shortly, as he needs a HDD that's at least 500GB's. The software he uses, ProTools, needs two HDD's to record, so he has to replace the dying one to ensure he can continue to record.

    I'll tell him what price to expect, and go from there. I'm seeing the 1TB drives at €148 on elara and I'm pretty sure 1TB used to be around the €90 before the floods. As he's only looking for at least 300GB's, I'm hoping he gets one at a half reasonable price.
