Been looking for couple of external drives to put in a NAS. These look a good deal. Will have to remove them from their enclosure first, but shouldn't be too hard a job to do.
The seller says it can used for PC storage or with an Xbox One.

I'd stick to NAS specific drives with a decent warranty, which removing them from the enclosure might void

I've used these Seagate drives in USB enclosures in my NASes for years with no problems. Yes removing them voids the warranty but mine have outlived their warranties for years anyway.
The Western Digital fanatics will be along in a moment to say how terrible Seagate drives are, and how you need drives specially made for NAS :smiley: IMO the drives for ordinary PCs have a much harder life than any NAS, if anything: being switched on and off every day and with massive temperature variations.

Now showing as £128.99 lowest price.
If you are in no rush for these wait until it goes to sub £100 on Amazon, or get it for mid £90's with an ebay/paypal 20% off deal.

with the way the xbox one eats memory everytime you have to install a game before playing this might be a worthy investment

I will be buying one of these. We are small country in Africa which needs store information about our citizens. This capacity should be enough.
