Huh? All I can see in Basics are cables and blank media.
I don't think the Western Digital external hard drive you can see is anything to do with it!

Guess we'll find out when someone buys them and dissects them. I would bet something like CMC magnetics or whatever. Will be one of the cheaper ones.

Great find. ordered the 1tb western digital external hard drive for 62.99. The my book 1tb hard drive which I was going to get a xmas was £80 at play is now currently over £110 at play so this will work as a brillinat replacement. Massive heat and rep added.
Also got free next day delivery by signing up to amazon prime one month trial. perfect for the xmas present orders.

dont seem like that good prices really and its not like quality can at all be assured considering the brand is not really known in the category of production? and its most lightly rebrand products that can be got cheaper.

Nothing special. Looks more like a marketing gimmick to me.

Awesome. Dual layers and single layer prices are great. SO SO SO SO SO devastated that I've been playing £15 for 25 packs of duals for ages. Oh well, they worked.
