LaCie 500GB External Hard Drive USB2.0 £59.99

Great price, Wonder if it's a new model though, I know Lacie do the silver ones, the new Gold one and a new black one, but they don't have the logo on them.
Nice though.
I have 5 of the Silver Porsche ones as back ups, Excellent Drives, Tiny and Quiet.

I have 2 of these. First from ebuyer for approx £55 and second from play.com £63 (plus quidco to come). Both have the samsung spinpoint 16mb cache disc inside. Small, quiet, nice black case.
Only annoying thing is no on/off switch.
Voted hot!

i just bought one of these freom play.com for 64.99 + quidco.

This is a very good price for a very good external drive.

hot & rep

how do they compare to the silver ones? and can these ones be mounted on top each other like the silvers? i have some silver ones, and i notice the silver ones cost more than these ones anyone know why?

excellent just what I was after.

I (too) bought one of these from Play.com earlier this week (using their 10% voucher code).
It arrived yesterday (even though posted on Monday by the Parcel Force 24 service!), & as mentioned above, the black case contains a Samsung drive.

Don't eBuyer have a bad reputation for customer service? I seem to recall reading a huge thread on this at HotUKDeals earlier this year.

BFN,

fp.

How did you give them rep?

WOULD THIS WORK ON A 360 ?? (not for live just for playing MP3 etc through??

Do these power off when you shutdown the PC ?

This is probably a stupid question but I want to make sure before spending 60 quid on one of these, I haven't had an external harddrive before. Are these drives suitable for holding my video files? I want to transfer all my divx/xvid/wmp etc. files onto it. There aren't going to be any playback issues if I'm playing them from this drive are there, I assume USB is fast enough to stream/play them in exactly the same way as they would play from an internal hard drive? And Windows Media Player won't have any problems recognising the files from these drives will it (I'll probably have it plugged in all the time anyway)?

decided not to buy as doesnt have a on/off switch

You won't have any issues playing any sort of media back off one of these. It will just plug and play.

Thanks homer_213 nice price

I need a backup for my Dell Inspiron 510m. Will this ext hard drive be compatible with it & easy to use? Or should I go in for the Seagate deal posted earlier? Can someone suggest pls.
