what i want to know is if i bring it in my hand luggage must i tell the person in security that i have a external drive and media player and if they put through the xray machine willl i loose my data also would i be better off leaving it in my normal checked in Luggage

im hoping Spain will be ok too.

you should be fine in security mention to the lads there external hard drive you maybe asked to take em out like a laptop for seperate screening.

All data will be safe and wont be currupted by the scanners.

Simple answer is your hard-drive will be fine and it's content.. Just think of all the laptops that go through airport X-rays everyday. A quick google search brought these different answers.

I would advise the security staff of the hard drives either way just to prevent any grieve..

Some people may think you're a pixmania internet troll with an OP like that.

Not me though. The thought never occured

I have brought my hard drive (sometimes 2) with me on many many flights. No problem with the data. But DAA security will ask you to have anything with a hard drive out in a tray. I have to put my laptop, kindle and hard drive in a separate tray to my coat/bag/shoes/pocket stuff.

It would still get x-rayed if it gets put in checked in luggage?

I agree but I wouldn't be promoting those prices, they can be had way cheaper on other sites so he would be wasting his time
