| 1279271 | 2012-06-02 10:26:00 | Dicky has good value USB 2.0 Seagates ATM. Just bought a 2TB Expansion drive for $139. 1TB is $129. Cheaper than buying the drive on its own! They are std drives inside aren't they? |

| 1279272 | 2012-06-02 11:05:00 | They are, only thing is you lose warranty by taking the drive out of the enclosure i believe. Still great value. I'm going there tomorrow :p | icow (15313) | ||
| 1279273 | 2012-06-02 11:19:00 | Often I have found that the drives in those cases are generally green drives with with slower rotation speeds (5400rpm). Good for data storage but not performance. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1279274 | 2012-06-02 11:23:00 | Yeah it is a 5400rpm drive. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1279275 | 2012-06-02 11:38:00 | Thanks for the heads up, just brought one. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1279276 | 2012-06-02 22:11:00 | They are not always normal drives these days - some manufactures build with the circuit board connected directly to the Drive - no sata connections. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1279277 | 2012-06-03 13:31:00 | They are not always normal drives these days - some manufactures build with the circuit board connected directly to the Drive - no sata connections. Shouldn't be with these particular ones though, from the videos I've seen on Youtube. Anyone who bought one - what drive did it come with? Can you find the model number? |

| 1279278 | 2012-06-03 22:33:00 | Bit chary of trying to pop the lid. All those plastic clips to break! Is there another way of getting the drive to reveal its secrets? | linw (53) | ||

| 1279280 | 2012-06-03 23:19:00 | Damnit man! I've already got more drives than I need, but that price was way too sharp to ignore. Thanks, I think... more drives and more cable to add to the mess. |
