        I think our good friend here just forgot the number 3 after USB, which anyone [mod: removed unnecessary personal attack] could of figured out anyway.

        but just for you JV, he meant to say "I DOUBT USB3, ESPECIALLY AT THIS PRICE"

    i don't know why but every time someone posts a 'first time, please be gentle/sorry if i make mistakes etc post' my mind always gives me a filthy, filthy image.

    "It's my first time, please be gentle… I'm sorry if i make any… mistakes…." ZOMG

    Yeah good luck getting that out of your mind.

    What is with all the negativity on here? This is supposed to be a site where people help each other. Instead it is being hijacked by abusive trolls. Guys, either be positive or troll youtube if you need the release :)

      if you're referring to me, i voted +ve to this deal…

      some people need to resort to personal attacks when someone points out to them they are wrong…
      lots of people with low self esteem in these forums is my guess…

          Haha, thanks, but it was just a simple use of the clone tool.

          Oliver - I did it as a joke. I have no intentions of actually trying to price match nor have I done it in the past.

    Has anyone here managed to open these up without damaging it to use as an internal hard drive in a PC? Are they standard sata hard drives with sata power connectors? Thanks in advance.

  •  
    ifonlyiwasyounger on 16/06/2012 - 09:23

    Is a portable hard drive (such as this one) suitable for connecting to a PVR or HD recorder to provide extra storage space? If not, could someone more knowledgeable than me advise please on what I should purchase/use?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for this "hippies". I got 2 of them. I was waiting for a good deal on WD 3TB. Saved me from buying the internal one from MSY for $185. My local JB had it for $199 and tried to talk to someone to price match and they were all busy and I had to drive all the way from Epping to Hoppers Crossing, but this is worth the drive.

        davidl2 on 17/06/2012 - 21:43

        seriously? they gave you an discount of $40 on an $188 item? based on what? @_@

        do you have a scanned receipt so I could get one from them?
