BUY NOW!!!

On another sneaky note these should have the Samsung HD501LJ (although we cannot guarantee this) so if you just want an internal drive then simply get the flat bladed screwdriver out and you've got yourself an absolute bargain.

Do you have a better pic of the case?

That doesnt look real for some reason to me.

How hot do these run?

I could certainly do with bumping my storage up to 1.5TB lol!

I could really do with one of these but £8 for shipping isn't worth it for a single item

. Would it not be possible to have non next-day delivery options for cheaper like most competitors use?

Just as an experienced first hand user note, they run very hot. They're also very noisy. Still, if you can cope with that and ventilate them properly, what a bargain.

I thought Samsungs were quite quiet as HDDs go?

I've got 2 seagates in these £10 external casings I got, can run warm, but tend to be fine, and quiet as you like

With the overrun from the postal strike, you're not going to get it next day either

I've been waiting since last Friday for the ram I ordered.

Sorry, just going off personal experience. We have a load of these at work and they're bloomin' noisy, and get seriously hot.
