1TB Multimedia Hard Drive

Philsopher

Ok, so I bought a re-conditioned Iomega Screenplay directly from them about 2 years ago but it has now decided that it won't load fully when I plug it into the television (same issue happened with the original player they sent me but the sent me a replacement quickly and with no hassle). The drive still works fine when I plug it into my pc so I'm going to keep it and use it as a storage backup.

I'd ideally like to get one again as quickly as possible. Is this the cheapest option available in Dublin? http://www.peats.com/cgi-bin/catalog_v2.cgi?id=29151&type=product Anyone got any opinions on it?

I'd be willing to shop online if anyone can see a better/cheaper version around but I haven't so far...

It seems for an extra 20 quid you can pick up the 2TB version on pixmania.

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any experience/knowledge of the product? Would you recommend it?

Sorry for the questions, just want to buy something that is reliable and will last for a long time.

Unfortunately I don't I'm afraid, I just happened to be looking for a hard drive for my self recently and I remembered pixmania had some bargains. Infact I don't have any experience with media players at all I don't use them.
However a quick search on Google reveals decent enough reveiws for it,

Hope this helps, best of luck with your purchase, whichever you choose.

Many thanks for those reviews, I found them very helpful. I was thinking of investing in the 2TB player but one of the reviews said that they don't (or the individual in question couldn't) play avi files - even though the product spec says that it can. This would be a major problem for me as all my files are avi.
