Sorry, fast though it is its just far too over priced!
Drives and cable £170+£170+£30 = £370, so the enclosure is £250 of the total £620 cost?
£250 for a drive enclosure, not great value... must be aimed at Mac users
Fast and good drives but too heavily priced!
Definitely aimed at Mac users kingpotnoodle!! :-P
Definitely aimed at Mac users. This doesn't really make much sense to me. Anyone after really high speed will be looking at SSDs. I suppose that OSX is fairly poor for SSDs, but still...
I recently splurged on a 512GB Plextor M5Pro for my main rig. Two of those would give me 1TB that's still faster than RAID 0 Raptors (which don't have redundancy if one fails, and are more power hungry and noisy), for about the same price as this lot. For external storage, I'm very happy with a little NAS box I put together that backs up to a mate's equivalent system nightly, and gives me 3TB of doubly redundant storage on the gigabit network. Yes, it takes a minute or two to copy a few gigs of data over as a backup, but it's a backup... I have plenty of faster storage in the main machine.
Velociraptors were awesome back in the day, but I'm afraid their time has really passed now
