I have this one

http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=420463

Cable for power can come out a bit easy but then i assume you/most people wont have it plugged in and moving it around.
It comes as fat or fat32 and personally speaking i had to format it to nfts and lost around 70mb. Im no genius on this so maybe you wont lose that much and/or wont need to format it.

The toshbia I had before and is a mess, it needs to be formatted and then mounted, again im no expect on this but i like my external drives plug and play.
Also if you have it in eye shot expect to get a free disco it throws out more lights/colours when its doing things.
It sits on a small plastic base whereas the wd one sits flat and has a rubber mounting @ the top.

If you need more info just ask!!

Thanks for the reply,
I was in waterford so i checked pcworld, and got a 1TB seagate drive for 99 euro. They had 1.5TBs for 129 euro earlier today but were gone when i called.

No worries you cant go wrong with seagate either.
I got the wd one as it was nearly €20 cheaper than the seagate @ the time.So you have gotten a bargain there!!!

Peats are selling 1TB Iomega's for 79 quid at the moment, 49 for 500gig which is even better.
