Toshiba HD's Any good ?

noblues · 05-02-2006, 04:44 PM

I am very tempted by a PC World (as much as I hate them!) offer on Toshiba 320gig HD's for £110 ...

Has anyone experience of Toshiba HD's ?

Are they reliable?

I've always used Maxtors up to now with the occasional Seagate ......

I didn't know they made HDDs so I don't know how to go on this one.

I just had a look on the Toshiba site, couldn't find the external one I have seen, but all there drives are listed with product codes MK----
so maybe they are Maxtors cased and re-branded?

Out of interest here is the drive in question .. seems cheap...

TOSHIBA - 320GB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

I can't find any reviews on it, but the specs looks ok.

EDIT: you beat me to it
