Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 750GB - good or not?

overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-152-SE

Been considering getting one for a few days now. Are they good? I've heard good things about them, and I'm tempted. :)

why not just get a HDD and an external caddy separately and build it up yourself?

i'll edit an example in, in a moment (need to go digging)

edit:

par example:

THIS and THIS (£15.26 and £55.10 respectivly) for a total of: £70.36 which would give you a 750GiB exHDD

Caddys HERE
HDDs HERE (linking these pages incase you want to have a look at caddy designs... and/or different HDDs aswell...) (just make sure you get things that are compatible.. [i.e. if you get a SATA HDD then you need a SATA enclosure etc])

and that way you can have it how you want it, and save money in the process :D

also, i would recommend using SCAN over OcUK... (SCAN have great aftersales support :))


or if you are dead set on the free agent then it is HERE on SCAN

HTH

Of course I considered that, but I like the look of the Seagate one quite a lot, and it saves the hassle of putting it together. :P

Plus I've yet to actually like any of the caddy designs, it seems that no one can make one that works well and actually looks nice enough to have on a desk, too.

And, OcUK is nearby to me, so I can go and pick it up myself.
