Where to get an External Hard Drive? (1 Viewer)

[Ferox13]

Need to get another 300gig external HD.

Well actually - an 300gig Internal and a caddy for it.

Best prices I a can find are:

Jaguar Computer Systems Ltd

They have a 300gb 7200rpm Maxtor Hard Drive for 102 euro.

and a caddy for €39.00..

Can any one beat this prices in Dublin???

I'm kinda tempted to get one of these:

3.5-Inch Media Player Hard Drive Enclosure

They go for about £40 - you can paly media straight into yer TV monitor etc...I dunno much about them but the few reviews I read weren't great.

i saw what seemed to me to be cheap ones in that shop beside o'connell bridge - the one beside the bachelor inn or whatever its called. 500gb lacie drives for €215 or thereabouts, fancy red ones.

how come hard drive makers are still getting away with that bollocks that 100GB=100,000,000,000 bytes?

That's the name of the shop.

Site under construction.

Hmm....

The shop near that (you know the one with all the phones in the window) are doing cheap pen drives. But they're even cheaper in Harvey Normans, strangely enough, and cheaper again online.

I'm thinking of getting one of these http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=318906. The reviews look pretty good and useful to have it either pc or mac compatible out of the box.

I think I will wait until after I get paid though.

 

[mr pharmacist!!!!1]
