    Dont really want to spend 89.99, but when you say
    2TB is €89.99 (not portable), how not portable do you mean?

    The box is big which means it comes with power adapter usually needed for 3.5" disks. Portable ones are just plug n play, no external power needed

    It is not a bargain for 2TB imo as you can get similar ones around €82 on Komplette

    Seems like thats the place it was on? I wont bother trying to check elsewhere, not worth luggin my arse around on the off chance there is something on the shelf and no 1TB.

    No bargain 1T drives left in Blanch :/ - just some more expensive ones - got the 500G for 28 Euros to upgrade an old laptop.

    A struggle to open without damaging the case (snapped together but not glued) - but possible.

    Inside was a standard SATA Seagate drive as hoped - model ST500LT012
    (and a dinky little sata to usb3 module) - 4 screws inside under the rubber bumpers hold the drive to the internal caddy..

    This is the drive inside:

    I happened to look at them on Friday in Limerick, and they were marked at full price. Anyone checked them more recently?

    I asked in O'Connell Street Limerick today and was told they were full price - the person I spoke to was familiar with the offer as another boardsie had already been in asking :)

    WTF is that?

    USB3 plugs are backward compatible to USB2.

    USB Micro 3 plug - physically different connector than Micro USB 2.

    You get the micro usb3 to standard Type A usb 2/3 converter dongle - but yeah, you should be able use a normal micro usb 2 cable also for USB2 mode.

    Also came with Nero 10 - which is ok.

    I checked on Monday, they were normal Prices. Also checked Dundrum as I was in both places.
    Neither had them on offer.

    Unfortunately I wasn't going anywhere near Blanchardstown.. :(
