1 TB External Hard Disk

Got one 1 TB External Hard disk, Verbatim from Currys in London for 69 Pound.

Handy for people who travel to London frequently but not really a Bargain Alert as such for the average joe.

RobertFoster · 13-07-2009 02:13PM

I imagine it'd be the same price in all UK Currys, so anyone heading north might benefit.

Reads on Nassau street in Dublin are advertising a 1TB hardrive for €99.

Komplett seem to have some good prices for TB hard drives. Internal and external ranging from €69 to €120 for 1.5 TB drives.

Might be worth a gander.

Easons are selling a Seagate 1 Tb Drive for €89 and a 500Gb drive for €59

(bought mine in O'Connell Street branch)

Maplin are offering a 1.5TB HD for €150. It is maxtor, a brand of which I have heard mixed reviews. Still at 10Gb/€...

TPD · 13-07-2009 04:17PM

Wouldn't trust a Maxtor, Genghis. 10Gb/€ seems good till it breaks :P

I find Maplin.... very....very.... pricey for what you are getting! Though I guess it depends on what you need it for. 1.5TB for €100-€140 is pretty good!

Depending on the rush.... Tom's hardware are talking about usb 3.0 coming out end of the year

Worth waiting?

Komplett have 1 TB for € 79 which is about £68. Bit easier to get to too...

CDiscount in Dundalk have a tosh 1TB for 69.99 euro. Only open at the weekend until their site goes live. Not very convienent for the Dubs but at least better than London and the North!!

Does anyone else find the atom website really crappy - subcatagories exist but when you click on them it tells you nothing is available. Looks kinda pricey too.

Anyone got any experience with Buffallo hard drives?

grimm2005 · 16-07-2009 01:21AM

anyone know how good the iomega prestige from peats is? very tempted to get one but if its got a bad reputation i'll leave it. i've had a 320gb WD mybook for a few years and its never given me problems

Basq · 16-07-2009 08:24AM

I picked up a external Seagate 1TB HDD for €74.25 from Littlewoods.

Was that using the 25% voucher?

Yep.. it's quoted at €99 on the website.

They have the 500GB quoted at the same price.. not to mention..

Splendid · 16-07-2009 08:41AM

I was looking at that the other day. Was wondering what the hell was going on. All of the disks say that they don't need external power, so that can't be the explanation.

I've had an external one for about 2 years now, never had any trouble with it. The HDD inside was a Maxtor though.

I have one for about 3 or 4 months, no problems so far, have about 700GB off stuff on it. Pretty good value imo, currently there for E80.

I guess one's mains powered, one usb. Looks like one is a passport style drive(the more expensive one).

Saruman · 16-07-2009 03:56PM

Not much of a bargain since it is in London.

Take a look at the peats website on the front page. €79.95
And peats is a brick and mortar shop

junglecliff · 17-07-2009 06:24AM

which peats stores stock these..?
will it work ok with a mac..?

pipkato · 17-07-2009 07:22AM

Peats in Rathmines had these Iomega 1TB drives at €79. Should work fine with your Mac if it's formatted appropriately.

All the shops have them.
