  i picked one of these up sainsburys wigan today,they had about 9 on shelf
  samsung 103is drive inside,cheapest around at moment for 1tb
  
  people vote cold due to hardrive prices i imagine but this is the cheapest around.

  Just checked a hard drive compatibility list and I think it is. Verbatim and Samsung 1tb drives are compatible so I'm guessing it is.

  what I also like about this hard drive it has an on/off switch at the back which is handy.The ones I've had in the past hadn't.

  its really quite too,i got one for my bluray player but i might get another for the pc.
  1tb for £59 is a very good price ad i expect will be for a couple of months at least.
  the drive thats in mine is £95 if bought as internal
  the next cheapest i could fine for the full thing is £88 at asda

  like i say samsung inside mine.the vid shows 2tb but the case is identical so its got to be the same inside
  

  
  
  
  Hard disk speed : 5400rpm is that right?
  
  Im guessing its the Samsung EcoGreen HD103SI, good for backup, bad for main OS drive

  Live and learn. Didn't know Robert Dyas sold hard drives. How do these compare with the similar spec Western Digital (which is what I tend to use)?
