It would definitely be a desktop drive used in this.
It's a 3.5" desktop drive ( don't think they even make a 3tb portable drive yet)
PC World have cocked up a load of their listings, I took back a 3.5" drive today that was supposed to be portable :(
Its a desktop unit.
Just to point out, this uses a non-standard cable at the usb connection to the drive

If it's using either of these connections then it is standard just a new one for USB 3 which needs the extra pins.

so proven that HDD prices are artificially inflated due to only two major companies in the market Seagate & WD, and they are now dictating the market...
Also another point, inside this encloser it should be same (internal SATA Seagate) drive, which normally had 1 year warranty. But this one has two year warranty.
Can someone dare to open it and let us know what drive inside? But be-careful as after opening it no warranty to the drive.
I bought WD elements 2tb late Oct last year from Dixons for £64.
The Thai floods caused the price hikes.
I need another drive, so will be waiting for prices to come down to pre-flood era.
Cheapest I have ever seen for a 3TB.
It may have, but a year later it's become a terrible excuse to overcharge.

If you need another drive, buy one. No one is in a hurry to put the prices back to pre-flood levels. HDD manufacturers (as with any company) are out to make money - they don't owe you anything.
Honestly, why would any company slash their prices back to £50 for 2TB when all their competitors are selling for £80? Very poor grasp of economics if you think that is going to happen any time soon.
Why would you open this (and void the warranty) when you can get a 3TB Seagate internal drive for the same price (or slightly cheaper)??
