    Above in Easons Liffey Valley today for €89 and it is a Seagate.

    Seemed to have plenty of boxes on show.

    I know there is another thread for €0.20 cheaper

    but there's nothing like that face to face customer service if needed. Also comes with a 2 year guarantee.

    We've been talking about those over in the Dunnes HDD thread, just to warn you, the one I bought on Sunday has died already, didn't even have time to put any data on it. Easons replaced it no problem but just to warn you.

    Did you have yours on for long when it died MC??
    Perhaps a random freak thing??
    has the replacement been ok?

    Seagate drives have a habit of head crashes.

    I've already lost a drive (Seagate) to this.

    And i was under the impression they were a reliable brand of drive with minimal problems

    HD are unreliable anyway. My opinion best External ones are Western Digital.

    I thought WD would be best but then a friend of mine got 2 dodgy WD's in a row, both crashed losing all the data after about a week each ... put me off big time
