{REQ}External USB 2.0 2.5" Hard Drive Under €80

Sqaull20

Have looked on ebay and although I can get 80gb ones for €45 the shipping cost on these are a disgrace and most of them look knock offs as well....

I have seen a Western Digital 80gb one for €77 on play.com

Anyone know where you can get one cheap?

That very one http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=49HT is €80.84 inc delivery on dabs.ie.

But komplett have the 120gb http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=324975 which would be €89.50 inc delivery (an post)

Edit: the 120gb is €82.06 after delivery on dabs.ie http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=496V

Edit 2: Freecom 80gb €68.33 http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=44K2

I'll stop editing now...

Dont know why you wouldnt spend E30 more & get the 500GB for E119 in Argos/Sony Centre.....

Because he obviously wants one that is compact, 2.5" instead of 3.5"

And also one that doesnt require an external power supply.

Because the 500GB one is a 3.5" drive. He is looking for a 2.5" drive. The 2.5" drives are smaller and can be powered off usb whereas 3.5" drives need their own power supply.

Edit: Welly bet me to it. Damn downloads killing my connection.

Freecom one looks interesting Cushion,dabs uk site has alot of positive reviews on it,are they reliable?

I hear you, but still can't see that for the 30% Eur price differential you would refuse a 400+% storage differentail, just for USB vs powered......

I know what your saying and I agree with you Banchang,it is the much better deal,but I need the drive to swap movies,games,pictures etc between a few friends at work and the 500gb one is just too big and clunky to carry to work,id luck a right dick lol....

I can fit the 120gb western digital one in my jacket pocket and just hand it to my friend,like I was handing over a dvd...HD films and game iso's are well over 10gb now,so it was either this or get a 16gb flash drive which is almost the same price and much slower....

Thanks for the western digital 120gb link Redfox,€80 is a steal,hopefully it will be here by the end of next week...

An expert shop in Portlaoise has one for €69 - 80 Gb SATA 2.5 Buffalo. Bought one there last week.
