1386413 2014-10-18 02:06:00 Hi guys,
My gf recently bought this (www.pbtech.co.nz) external hard drive, and the connector from the cable to the HDD is extremely dodgy. To make it connect takes a lot of fiddling, and then I feel bad about holding it in a position that does work, because its at a dangerous-looking angle. Has anyone else bought one of these HDDs? And does anyone know if it's worth taking it back, or is this a recurring problem in these? I can't find any reviews which mention this occuring.

Thanks,
Skeptile
