If that drive fails it will take months to get a replacement, with lots of hassle in the meantime.Some mentioned not getting one from a certain chain that advertises on TV a lot. If he means PC world then he's right about it being over priced or rubbish, but I bought a 250Gb 8Mb cache Samsung drive from them online just a few weeks ago. It actually turned out to be cheaper than buying a decent one off eBay of all things. Ebuyer isn't worth it.Clearly people's experiences differ. I have purchased from eBuyer for a couple of years and only once had a problem product. It was easy to send back and they refunded my postage too.Ian
Never had any problems with Ebuyer stuff over a similar period. Admittedly I only buy "named" equipment, never stuff re-badged as Ebuyer's own. The Maxtor drive has survived an 18hr day, 7 day week, for just over 2 years though it wasn't subjected to arduous use. Obviously I can't speak for the lastest Maxtor drives.
