Hi there

Our suppliers are on the ball at the moment, stock has arrived, price shall be honored until Thursday as promised. :)
 
Used all my SATA ports on my PC. How would I go about transferring all my data form my 1.5TB drive to this 3TB drive?

I have an external enclosure so I was thinking of putting the 3TB in that and then copying all the data over. But then I am worried that when I unplug my 1.5TB drive and put in my 3TB drive it will recognize it as a new drive and I will have to format it before use... Or it will get confused with the old drive that was in there?
 
You won't need to format it again so that should be fine. If you just do a straight swap, the system should see the new 3TB drive and all the data you copied to it.
 
Hi there

For our customers who don't get FREE Shipping we have lowered our price on TODAY ONLY so it matches this price when you adding shipping. :)
 
Picked one of these up elsewhere at the weekend (about £8 more than the new prices here, so wouldn't agree with the comment about being the first to drop the prices - though OC are certainly the cheapest now).

Anyway, to the point of my post, hopefully I might be able to save a few people some hassle.

First, make sure you have the Intel Rapid Technology Drivers installed. If you don't, you may well find that you can only format the drive to 750gig. The Intel drivers give the OS the ability to support drives over 2.2GB.

Secondly, I had some strange pausing issues when loading Windows. This seems to be down to actually having the drive connected to the 6gig port (on an Asus P8P67). Couldn't figure out the problem, but eventually tried plugging it into an Sata 2 port, and as of yet, the problem hasn't occured again. My boot drive (M225) was also connected to the 6Gb/s port as well, so I don't know if there was some strange sort of conflict going off, but it certainly seemed like it.

BTW, I've benchmarked the drive on both Sata 2 & 6Gb/s ports with ATTO, and there is zero performance difference, so don't worry about using this drive on a Sata 2 port.
