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

Anybody know if this deal is still live? Keep getting an error

Recieved mine, yes it was not packed well, they must put bubble wrap or something to stop it ratting around.but it worked great with my Xbox one and no issues. Also I pay by PayPal so if there is an issue I would get my money back, and it also arrived very quickly. Good buy.

can both of these be used with an Xbox?
Also does anyone have an idea as to the performance of these in such use.?

I left it for 24 hours copying an existing 2TB hard drive and it is still only half way done - I'm going to return mine - no good having 3TB if you can't use it.

Recieved mine yesterday, it's still very good value for the money also simple plug and play, no need to plug in mains, Can't complain at this price

I've just received my Maxtor 3TB portable drive today - only 16-22MB/s write speed which is very disappointing - read speed is better at 130MB/s. Not sure if I want to keep it with that performance....

This is a great deal and the odd comment about keeping a carefully eye on this company does not really matter because if you pay by PayPal which you can, if they don't deliver or have problems you get your money back, it's a no brainier. Brilliant price with the £15 of. Just ordered as I have been after one for months.i bought the Maxtor as its got no power lead and runs from the devices power.

Seems like a good deal for this, considering the drive inside is a Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200 RPM.
The drive alone is more expensive than this deal.
Though you won't be able to pull out the HDD without breaking the enclosure.

Not true of all laptops. It's a laptop spec size and some laptops will take the width (oo-er)

I read in amazon comments they were a seagate barracuda 7200 rpm in the 3tb ones?

​so basically what is being sold now are the returned maxtor units becuse i remember 3tb went out of stock briefly.

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

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

i get the message" our cartographer is having trouble recognising your address" And doesnt let me proceed.

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)

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

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