Nice price.

Blimey, it's got 2,595 reviews.

Yes and 186 one star ones!!! that's 10% of the five star ones. The one thing you need from a drive is reliability.

5TB. Shudder.

I have a few Seagate products and no real issues.

Cheers.

Wow everytime i see prices related to storage i'm aghast with the price drops and the capacity gain.

Yes, it doesn't do too well on the reliability front - I don't think I'd buy one.

It sounds like a lot of them had issues with the USB enclosure rather than the drive itself.

Might buy and rip the drive out of the enclosure and put in pc,lol

That's probably the best way to use the drive (assuming whichever one it is has a good reputation for internal use).

This one perhaps? http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Stor...5"+SATA+III+Hard+Drive+-+HDD+?productId=61213
