Its an Official ebay outlet of Scan and already a merchant on HUKD already so is fine to stay at this current time :)

Maybe post as separate deal?
BIG difference for me [buying from Ebay outlet] is NO surcharge to NI - £13.19 on the website! oO

I wouldnt say so. Ive had laptop hard drives last llonger than desktop ones.
The reason they usually fail is because they are moved more, dropped more and disconnected during use.
If you look after it, it should be fine.
Would it be better to order a second one from Amazon as it will then be from a different batch?
A lot of the larger capacity 2.5" drives are 15mm high, and therefore of no use. Can't check the listing as I can't find it / it's been removed

1. 2.5" width- These are notebook hard drives and that size is what you are looking for. 3.5" desktop hard drives will not fit.
2. 9.5mm Height- This is normal but keep an eye out for drives that may be smaller or bigger because they will not fit.
3. 5400 RPM speed- Although the PS3 can handle the faster 7200RPM, you run the risk of overheating the system for a few milliseconds faster in loading time. The original drive that came with your console is 5400RPM so make sure the new one is as well.
4. MUST be Serial ATA (SATA)- The drive must be a SATA drive, other interfaces such as ATA or IDE will not have the correct connections to fit in the PS3.

Scan is a genuine company, no reason why their ebay store should be removed from hukd.
