or hotter if it were a semi-detached house or a hovercraft.

great price was looking at the 6gb deal earlier but didn't think I needed that much storage. Cheers OP

is this powered via USB or power supply?
nvm just see it's power supply

Mains power adapter

superb thanks

Are these easy enough to break open for the drive? Or are they soldered?

Just what i've been looking for

Thanks OP!

Thanks OP that's another present sorted!

Great price.

are these drives easy to remove? Plan on using it as an internal for my new pc build.

Would be hot if it was usb powered

this was £84.99 last week, i purchased an over priced open box one for £81.99 i think which brought it down to around £65 with the 20% off warehouse deals, so this is cheapest about for new as far as i know.

Yes please....will have some of that!!! :wink:

thanks

awesome, just what I was looking for.
Big thanks OP, another Xmas prezzie sorted.

How is that relevant to an external hard drive?

I don't think I could explain it to you. Perhaps somebody else might.

Do you reckon you another drive could be popped into the enclosure and work fine? I'd use this to replace a 1tb drive in my current computer, then bung that 1tb drive in this enclosure for some additional xbox games.

This or the USB Toshiba Canvio 3 TB?

Assuming the controller board in the external enclosure allows it then yes physically there is no issue.

​i didn't quite get the relevance either? although full of clever clogs on this app. Just out of interest..is it possible to get 3tb that's not mains powered? Sarcastic answers not required pls.

FYI: That method was for the Seagate Backup Plus

I've opened a Seagate Expansion but the method is slightly different.

The principle is similar, you insert the plastic spudger and move it around the case edge to undo the clips, you don't have to pry them off like in this video.

Amazon have a few 3tb and 4tb that are powered by usb.
Around £25 per tb seems standard for a mains powered desktop hard drive, hence why I don't think this is such a great deal.

Theres a 4tb portable drive out i think... you pay a heafty premium for that though. Seagates portable version of this is £80 on Amazon I think though.

Worth a try i guess then :stuck_out_tongue:

Only one year warranty on this compared to two years with the Toshiba portable

Pity it's not the portable plug n play! : (

Rather have a self powered drive myself, dont want a usb drive that draws power from a usb port.

oos

out of stock now

Do xbone games run well from externals?

what disk in these? don't suppose it would be a nas disk would it?

I did start typing an explanation but thought that would go over as well.....:smile:

Good deal..
But it is now out of stock.

Seagate. Get ready to return it in no more than 2 years time when it fails

I opened a 2TB one. It was a little difficult to get a start on it. It looks sealed to old eyes, but once you get going it comes apart.
The board seems like something generic that clips the power and the port on in one. I've got a 2.5in disk from an old notebook working with it so it should be ok for something else.
There's a bit of shielding that needs peeling off and would need to go on the replacement drive.

The power cable seems to be proprietary. Best not to lose it.

​funny though! :smile:
