July 26th, 2016

Hi guys,
i need a portable hdd… i dont know what to go for . Could someone give me a hand? Do you know any good ones? I need 1TB and of low price….
I think I found this one:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/171920 but im not sure…
By the way, i’m in the UK

Answer #1
Western Digital are usually a safe bet. The one you found is a pretty good portable HDD. It only requires a USB connection as a power supply so that’s an advantage. The price is pretty reasonable too so I’d go for it if you can afford it
Answer #2
Yep, those passports are the way to go, WD is one of the most reliable brands on the market + portable + USB-powered = win-win situation
Answer #3
Cool. Now i’m really confused, take a look at this:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/171920 PRICE = �129.44inc. vat
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/185915 PRICE = [b]�153.69inc. vat
They both seems the same to me…
Answer #4
The more expensive one is the retail box version which comes with added content in the original box made by WD. It can have extra software, extra cables but I don’t know if it justifies a 25� price bump…
Answer #5
Hmmm.. what do you guys recommend?
