[biggis]

Thought I'd post this as it seems to be a very good price.

Just to note that Pixmania mention that this will require a UK adapter (which they supply for free), probably because it's from an EU supplier source so will have an EU plug.

Thanks....grabbed one

[danielzavitz]

Very nearly bought one of these for about £71 from Amazon over the weekend, glad I held off!

Further to the euro plug thing, the voltage adapter is built into plug so it's a chunky one already, so if you've got no clearance on your socket 'cause there's a desk blocking it or something this may not fit, especially with a plug converter on there too.

Ebuyer!!!!!
NOOOOOOO.
Why do people ALWAYS go to Ebuyer first! It's like Ebay: no longer always the cheapest option.

Seriously, I always check Amazon out first.
They've been selling the WD External 1tb for £45 for AGES now, and this last couple of weeks it's been £40.

OP, can we have some tags please? Especially HDD and 2TB (you can't search for 3 letter terms but we can have 3 letter tags). Otherwise it's going to be a pain trying to find this thread

Have you not seen the thread in here? There have been loads of 1TB drives for £40 or less. If you paid £56 then you overpaid by a lot!

[ralph wiggum]

Cheers OP, been looking for another 2TB for a while now. Discount code 3JITUK gives 5% off IT equipment bringing the price down to £53.64.

I don't see the adapter thing as a big problem. Every external drive I've owned has a separate mains adaptor anyway.

I stopped buying stuff from Ebuyer,hefty Highlands and Islands charges they can go and whistle

Well that's not a problem, I think what they're saying is the converter might be a problem for some.

I have a WD 1TB external drive, would that work with this drive?

[sideshowbob]

I wouldn't worry about the plug adapter - they're pretty good quality screw in ones these days, so you open it up, put the euro plug inside it, and screw it together.

This sort of thing

[camaj]

Ah, never seen that before, very nice!

[rhialto]

...who seem to think that they're exempt from UK consumer legislation.

The one and only time I bought something from them it broke within days and they had no interest in doing anything about it.

In the end I had to sue them to get my money back.

[cliff homewood]

Interesting as I noticed they added insurance to the basket in case it breaks, which is covered by my consumer rights anyway so removed the insurance.

£56.80 @ Dixons with free delivery if you don't fancy Pixmania.

[johnsy]

Cheers for the Dixons tip-off - have gone for a pair. Been meaning to properly sort out all my various backed-up bits into one place, and do a mirrored copy. This'll force me into doing it now!

[mburton2]

Mine arrived today from Pixmania....come complete with one of those euro-plug adapters..
