| 856534 | 2010-02-09 04:43:00 | www.computerlounge.co.nz Just a little more and you could have doubled the capacity! That's always the situation. If I paid just $74 more I could've got a 24" LCD monitor. But the 22" I got is adequate. Getting the best bang for the buck is usually my choice. |

| 856536 | 2010-02-09 05:16:00 | na thats mains power, uses USB to connect, also will be a fair bit larger than the drive Terry Porritt purchased. | Battleneter2 (9361) | ||
| 856537 | 2010-02-09 05:22:00 | Looks like its USB powered to me Thats where you need to do your homework ( dont assume) :D 1. 3.5" drives usually require an external Power source. 2. Look at the manufactures Site (www.wdc.com) Electrical Specifications Current Requirements Power Dissipation AC Input Voltage 100-240 VAC AC Input Frequency 50-60 Hz |

| 856539 | 2010-02-09 07:45:00 | Didn't say it wasnt powered, just that looking at the advert there is only a couple of words that indicate it is mains powered. This first statement is misleading. And there are people out there that dont know what an AC adapter is for. "Plain, simple, reliable add-on storage. This external USB 2.0 drive is preformatted for immediate use. Simply plug it in to a USB port and you've got instant storage your PC or Macintosh". "•External USB 2.0 hard drive •USB 2.0 certified cable •AC adapter •Quick Install Guide" |
