For £70 like the seagate would be nice.

How about £100. 20 for the enclosure and 80 for the drive

getting better

. Still it looks like i'll have to have a hunt around the tinterweb for another hard drive.

What image of this drive is actually the correct one? On the product page there is one image. On the latest news page the image is different!

JediFragger · 16 Jan 2010 at 16:38

The Silver one is correct, I got mine earlier (very nice btw) and told them

ringo747 · 16 Jan 2010 at 17:02

Thanks for that. I think they'd look well a few of them stacked together. Was thinking of buying 2 x 2TB for a NAS box then i could add these as USB extension on to NAS.

How easy would it be to take the hard drive out of this?

Should be relatively easy to be honest however it will totally destroy any warranty and as the drive has come from SI the normal warranty channels won't work either on the bare drive.

It isn't the one in the picture, i think the one i got actually looks better.
It also comes with a usb booster program that does actually speed it up to around half the speed of esata.

Hitachi have just made some changes to their casing design which is why you have a slightly different drive to the one pictured. All orders placed now will receive the drive in the picture.

HighlandeR · 17 Jan 2010 at 13:24

Its a good price indeed especially considering thats the norm price for the drive alone, id personaly like too see Sammy 2tbs for £99

smilertoo · 17 Jan 2010 at 23:13

Hitachi have made changes since thursday?

Slackworth · 18 Jan 2010 at 00:07

Nope but different stock was delivered afterwards.

smilertoo · 18 Jan 2010 at 01:10

Anyway, my all black one looks better.

Thomss · 22 Jan 2010 at 16:53

Is this drive passively cooled? I'm using Icybox / sammy F1 1TB at the moment for streaming MKV's to my Mac Mini, will this hard disk be okay for that?
It looks an excellent price for the storage, and I'm getting low on that!
