    There are 2 reasons why I would not trust that particular Hard Drive. 1- Its from Lidl, and 2- Its a Targa.

    I would recommend you have a look here

    They stock good brands. Western Digital & iOmega are 2 very reliable brands. I have a 500 gig iOmega, have had it for 5 years now and its still fine.

    I see a couple of drives the same size or bigger than the one you linked to, at not much more price. Hope that helps.

    targa and lidl aren't bad brands. i've got loads of computer stuff out of lidl and it's working perfect. the price isn't too bad for a usb powered hard drive. there is cheaper hard drives in the stores like 1TB WD for €99 in currys, i saw a week or two ago. but if you're not going to filling up a 1TB hard drive, i'd consider buying it.
