A couple of decent external HDDs via the Groupon App, using the code APPLOVE (new customer sign ups £15 off a £25 spend).
Spotted these after seeing the deal posted for the Samsung printer by Chanchi32.

All I will say is watch your back with Groupon and read the small print.

Can the drives be taken out of these and used in a PC?

seagate maxtor 3tb cant fit in the laptop if taken out. drive is too thick.
also maxtor was previously posted here as a deal but many buyer said they had to return it because of bad sectors apperently maxtor seller doesnt use the bubble wrap before posting which damages the drive during transit. not sure about Samsung drive seller though.
hot either way
And yeah I bought one and had to return it as it failed multiple diagnostic tests.
Groupon or whoever packed it was having a laugh as it arrived rattling around in an empty box; no bubble wrap or anything!
At least groupon paid for return shipping (..although I still had to chase them for the refund)

I don't mean a laptop. I'm looking for a 3.5" drive but thanks.

yes you should be able to as long as you do not kind voiding your warranty, have a look at the YouTube link derp1664 shared earlier.
i would advise to do full diagnostic tests by western digital utility before opening the case
