    Saw today Segate Expansion 1TB Portable (2.5") USB 3.0 HDD at €32.99 in Eason Blanch SC

    500GB is €27.99
    320GB is €24.99

    2TB is €89.99 (not portable)

    Only 1TB at €32.99 is a brgain imo

    Pardon my ignorance. Is that only for laptops or the same as an external hard disc drive (HDD) that can be used for storage?

    That harddrive is a laptop harddrive inside a plastic case with a USB cable. What that poster meant was, the savvy laptop users out there might buy this and and take the harddrive out to put in their laptop. 33 euros for a 1TB drive is a steal. 33 euros for a 1TB laptop Hard drive is borderline theft.

    My point was that if You need one for laptop it is cheaper to buy this one and take out HDD.
    But if You need it as external drive You can use it that way.

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

    the bottom left HDD in the image with the green hand cut label appears to say 2TB, but it doesnt look hugely non portable, not slimline.
    I cant make out the price? was 139?? now? looks like 99.
    So is that the 2TB HDD? wouldn't mind a replacement/backup drive to store stuff.
    Are Seagate an ok make? I read a review recently about the comparison between HDD's, It was actually a different review to the one I've linked, but here's another one I located with a quick search, but Id read the comments too.
