Page 1 of 200GB Western Digital 7200 hd - 109 Quid from PC World

Title says it all really.

After a long time lurking (and wallet suffering) from this great forum thought I`d post this. Hope it is a bargain.

It`s a bare drive (OEM) so no fixing screws or software supplied. Installed and formatted OK with instructions from the Western Digital Website.(and fixing screws from Maplins - PC World didn`t have any!)

Bought in PC World in Lakeside and its also available on their website.

Well handy since I`ve discovered the delights of DVDShrink!

Not a bad spot at all. :)

Bigger on the inside

Which is ten thousand times bigger than my first hard disc! Bloody hell...

Doh!

Cheers for the website Rassilon. Shame I didn`t spot them before. Got my eyes on one of the Archos USB2 drives, when funds allow, to back up my music files. Have You used Aria before? Any Good?

Cheaper at Scan - can pick up if you`re local (Horwich, Bolton).

Also a better drive - 8 meg cache compared to the 2 meg for PC World one and quiet drive.

The one at Scan looks tasty.

Anyone out there recommend a good usb/firewire hard drive caddy? - having an external drive this big for my laptop could be extremely useful.

I have in the past used both Scan (mainly) & Aria (occassionally, colleague swears by them & not @ them) without any snags, usually pdq on getting the parts out to me (Like I would know as I am away from home all week ;) ).

Mate got the case below which is nice and works well. Came with a 6pin to 6pin cable though which was no good for laptop
