I really like this Hard Drive. Got it in PC World in Jervis Shopping Center (Dublin, Ireland) On sale for €89.99 for my 2TB Version.

(2Tb version, In total 10+ purchased for various utility and medium-term non-critical file storage after initial batch to review suitability) Comparatively speaking significantly quiet for a desktop drive - makes my older Lacies sound like a tap-dancing troupe in comparison. Appears to deal...

Overall, this drive has been very reliable and came at a very reasonable price. My only gripe is that the disk access light is in the back of the unit. It may be worth noting that I primarily use this drive for local backups and occasionally use it as a Final Cut Express 'scratch drive.'

This Western Digital drive is probably the best value on the market today. For a mere $70 dollars on amazon, you get a solid, reliable desktop hard drive that packs in a full terabyte of storage. On top of the value, there's no bloatware on the drive. Just plug it in and start using it with time...
