Wanted: 1TB Hard Drive

[winser]

Anyone know of anywhere I can get a 1TB hard drive for under £160?

I found this one on play.com

Western Digital 1TB My Book 2 (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3496946/Western-Digital-1TB-My-Book-2-Essential-Edition-USB2-0-External-Hard-Drive/Product.html)

They got this one for £20 more;

Western Digital 1TB My Book 2 Home Edition (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3496944/Western-Digital-1TB-My-Book-2-Home-Edition-USB2-0-Firewire400-eSATA-External-Hard-Drive/Product.html)

Its only going to be used on my computer so is it worth the extra money?

And know if anyone knows where I can get a better or cheaper?

Thanks Steve

Don't buy wd external hard drives, i believe certain models use drm to stop you moving certain files mp3 etc to and from the drive.

Naturally you need esata to get the best of it but there are controller cards available should you not have one on your motherboard.

try ebuyer.com for dabs.com (Owned by BT I believe) they usually sell computer hardware cheap then most sites.

I think this is going into there next generation of hard drives, but why would anyone by a hard drive with file movement restriction, RIAA must have given them some good bribes
