    Looks like a pretty decent bargain to me… 2.5" 1TB USB3.0 drive for $129.

    Did a search on staticice for '1tb 2.5 usb 3.0' and the cheapest drive that came back was $164 for a Verbatim. The cheapest Toshiba that came back was $217.

    Wuht?

  • JoelyMoley on 29/11/2010 - 13:51

    cheap for a usb 3.0 drive, but does anyone know if its a ordinary 2.5 sata2 drive? need to upgrade my alienware m11x's drive :(

    • illusionarybreeze on 29/11/2010 - 14:43

      The usb 2.0 versions of the drive apparently are. No idea if the usb 3.0 drives are the same.

      And I would assume they are 12.5mm thick.

    I reckon it's pretty misleading posting the specs of the interface when the hard drive can't even achieve 10% of the interface speeds.

      Personally I'm getting a Seagate 7200RPM drive getting a USB 3.0 enclosure from DealExtreme.
      That way I can interchange any 2.5" drives I have =P

  • ChadHominem on 29/11/2010 - 15:09

    good price seeing as it's not much more expensive than usb 2.0 1tb drives.
    but is it worth paying extra when the speed difference won't be much because of the 5400rpm drive.

  • atlas on 29/11/2010 - 15:17

    What's the transfer rate of a 5400rpm SATA drive when connected via SATA?

    My USB2.0 drives max out at about 35mb/s real world.

    My internal 7200rpm desktop drives typically pull 100mb/s or more.

    So if USB3.0 allows these 5400rpm drives to pull say 60-70mb/s, I'd be pretty happy.

    • Jaxx on 29/11/2010 - 16:06

      I get around 77MB/sec (according to win7) when I transfer a large (4GB) file from my laptop to my usb3.0 portable drive. Mine is an enclosure I bought off ebay ($28) with a 7200rpm hitachi drive.

      And I agree that this looks like a good bargain, assuming the 3.0 performance is decent.

  • csg001 on 29/11/2010 - 16:37

    Looks decent. ordered one! :)
    Just have to get USB 3.0 now…

  • Windows98 on 29/11/2010 - 21:24

    does anyone know if the hdd can be removed and used?

  • innov on 30/11/2010 - 00:28

    pretty good deal, i've been looking to buy a new 2.5'' hdd as well.

  • racka on 30/11/2010 - 01:12

    too tempting; just ordered one tonight :P

    • racka on 30/11/2010 - 07:29

      just noticed this morning, oo.com is selling this for $160 /free delivery. So this MLN offer is really a bargain!
