    Well do you want to buy a bulky (i.e. cheap but not very portable) or small one (i.e expensive but portable)? Do you want one with its one fan or not? Power supply or not?

    I saw ones for about €80 in Harvey Normans if you just want masses of space and don't care how big physically the drive is. Middle of the road there as about €130 and there was a 1TB that connects and stream directly to your TV for about €180. Accessory store in Cork City Centre has them for (I think!) €70, let me know if you want directions to it.

    edit: ah should have read properly, you mean you want to install into your desktop?

    Unless they have reduced them in the last couple of days or they are cheaper in some of their stores then the price is 89euro
