1TB external HDD
 

Hello people,

i was wondering if anyone knew the cheapest place online to get a TB external HDD? Looking for one with the two USB connectors instead of a mains plug.

Thanks!

It a Philips SPD5130, i've drawn a blank at finding somewhere that sells it though.

dude you do realise one of those cables is esata and the other usb. You can only power up 2.5 inch hard drives using usb power

Totally missed that!

Zing is 100% correct, there's no way you can power a 3.5" drive from a USB port.

Ah cheers, it's just my mate had a HDD which just used two USBs.....but it was alot smaller than that one lol.

Re: 1TB external HDD
 

they'd have been 2.5" drives, originally designed for laptops, hence having a lower power requirement.

Cheers for the help you two! Do you think these will be cheaper than about £90 at the mo?

What about this: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=34553

Note that the above device will have it's own power supply.

I just bought a 2.5" 500gb Seagate FreeAgent from Ebuyer for £90 but not seen any 1TB ones around yet in pocket sized.
