External Hard Drive - Fry-Up - 06-04-2018
I'm after a 1tb drive as above, i've seen a WD Elements one for £63 on ebay, but they are only £65 at Tesco, now normally I would expect a bigger saving on ebay, or is it that Tesco is very well price priced?
does anyone have any other recommendations??

Not sure on the hard drives mate, but i brought a samsung tocco lite in Tesco last week for £24 including £40 credit :w00t: they are quite cheap compared to ebay at the moment for certain things? :thumbup1:

better to get a media server unit like i got. iomega media network server. there not that pricy but offer the best home storage that you can use as a mobil unit. stream it to your ps3 xbox and back up all your data

yh with the media network server, you can connect it to your wireless router via ethernet, and access files and transfer files to it wirelessly, plus if you laptop goes or computer, files are on the server, just make sure your network is secure !

Jay stuff like that sounds technical lol, how do they work?

Depends what you need the hard drive for really. A media streamer is going to be more expensive than a raw hard drive, but do different things. It'll be a lot slower backing things up over a network rather than directly plugged in to your computer.

just like a usb hard drive but goes into the network. install a bit of sofeware and your done. best thing is you can run torrent on it so even if you shut down you computer at night it running. and you can remote access it so if your away you can still get to your files. best thing i ever brought. costs a bit more bet what you get is worth it. just think if you take you laptop away but want to show so photo's but did not have them with you. bingo or want to save files in one place so any computer can get to them

but you can plug it in using usb aswell and you can conect a printer to it and use it as a print server for the home. but you will only be able to use the printer not an all in one with scanner but just for printing

yh the best bit of the media server, is we had 5 computers, with files all over the place once with the media server, all files were in one place, I also had software running from it, so rebooting laptops would be no problems
