Needed for backing up/storage of my rubbish I keep ;D QVC Clickfree does not have good reports. I cannot add any more memory all slots filled up. Any ideas of what I should be looking for :dunno:
Is it for a laptop or tower, Jill

If you use Quidco, there is an extra 3% cashback at Comet http://www.quidco.com/comet/?ac
I'd go elsewhere personally as everything I've ever bought from them has broken down very quickly.

No we don't :)
Beware of the Iomega drives I've heard complaints about reliability :no:
In light of my own recent issues might I suggest the seagate ones as they look to be horizontally mounted instead of vertical. (less strain on the heads)

That one has a Samsung hard drive which I thought would be OK :-\

The problem with Samsung generally at the moment is reliability, since they started farming out production to the far east, and that includes TV's Etc
So not that one then :)
SEAGATE 3.5IN 1TB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
at Comet looks OK , little more expensive but still a good buy for a 1TB :thumb:
Here's mine Jill

I have 3 WD hd and had them for years and they have never let me down.
I think your very unlucky to have any hard disk failure within the warranty period.

My view with buying a 1.5TB is that if it goes belly up, you've lost the lot. I prefer a few smaller ones, then you don't lose everything.
Very wise, imo.
Poor Jill, probably feeling even more dizzy than normal from spinning round on that chair.
;D
Yes I do and the wine didn't help! ;D
Thanks all :thumb: I've used Lona's link :thumb:
Had a fright this morning as I had lost Windows, my youngest son is always very quick to suggest a reinstall :eek4: I asked why he had so many A levels :whistle: within an hour he had found the computer's brain ;D So if I'm not here tomorrow you will know why! son will be at work :D and I will be pacing the floor!
Always worth trying repair mode in Windows setup before declaring it dead.
Couldn't get to it.
If you have a Windows CD or DVD insert it and it'll usually offer if it detects a Windows install.
Do have one, but that wouldn't work either! not sure what son did :dunno:
Arrived this morning, so I will be busy :thumb: but can I trust it :D
:fingers: :)
Well it's doing it's job :fingers: having a good clear out! haven't a clue why I keep hold of all this junk :whistle:
Because we can? We all do it, Jill.
;D
I have six plugs and I'm still short! I hate trailing wires :shake:
I've lost count in here.
You can never have too many plugs! I always insist in a double in each corner but that's not counting what the pc needs ;D
If I can, on the next house, I'll have a row of points along an entire wall. :)
