Ah good, same as mine.

I don't trust iquon. I had dealings with them several years ago and there RMA policy was for you to pay to have the stuff sent back to Ireland and then pay to have the new stuff sent to you.

The only problem I've found so far is that the power connection isn't very secure. Seems secure enough if left alone, but I've already knocked it out once while fettling with the back of the PC.

Has anyone got one they haven't reformatted? I meant to note the capacity before reformatting mine but forgot. :/

Nothing serious, just curiosity.

I checked it but didn't write it down. The total was 499.xxxGB, which obviously translates to something a lot less in reality (can't be bothered to work it out!).

Seriously, how cheap can storage go!

That's ridiculously cheap!

Probably going to pick up another one next month, though will probs get one of the iomega ones because it fits the style of our set-up

*blatant pimp* - 2 blue LED's = 2x500Gb - with room for another one to sit on top of the Shuttle laid horizontally, lol

Ahh, you have the same problem I do - ever growing media collection.

It's tempting to sack the WD drive that's sat with my media box as it doesn't fit in, but with prices ever dropping I'm sure it can wait.

I have 2Tb of space and its not enough - tempted to lob in an extra few Gb but I am running out of space, power and cooling potential. New / better case might be a better plan but then thats spending the money for the drives!

Not quite as good as the Ebuyer deal, but still, it's there.
