That link suggests that the cheapest £/gb for a 2.5 inch drive is Samsung unit at £71 for a bare drive.
I can get one I a usb3 enclosure for £65 from the same retailer!

Or a Toshiba one for 50 quid on Amazon.

(should probably note that by 2.5 inch what I really mean is usb bus powered. It's going to sit hidden in a shelf, I really don't care what size it is a long as it doesn't need a separate power cable)

The last drive I bought was an external one I took the drive out of. Seems to be better deals on external drives these days.

Nah... the WD Reds are optimised for NAS (they are rated for double the load/unload cycles over, say, the WD Greens) but they can be used elsewhere as a regular drive too.

Cracking Good deal if you want a desktop drive and of there's any in stock (couldn't see any anywhere in Scotland)
