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!

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

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

Re: 1TB external HDD
What about this: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=34553
Note that the above device will have it's own power supply.
