The Mess Hall

I've got a dying HDD (my music collection is on it!) so I took a look at www.CCLonline.com and found a drive in my price bracket. £50 for a 500gig. Now that to me seems expensive, but 2TB HDD's are £90
I bought a 1.5TB hdd not 12 months ago for £70


So maybe it's the low-mid range thats expensive while the top end is coming down a little.

either way I cant afford it, anything less than a 500 would be a dead loss, I could only put my music collection on it, so for anything else I'd need a bigger HDD.

I suppose I could kill 2 birds with one stone and get a SSD for £60 @ 60GB
then use my windows drive for Program files and music?

And I finally get to see what all the SSD fuss is about.

or a 120GB for £72

The country they usually get maid in (not china) got flooded still paying the price for that.

Why not burn your music to DVD or CD?

Most hardware is Chinese (Made in China), now and again do you find Japanese, Korean or Hong Kong hardware.

Hitachi=Japanese - Made in China Go figure!

I do have a backup on 1 other drive, and currently backing up to a second HDD. I also have Blu-ray backups too, but they're out of date, and still it spans 20+ discs. This includes iTunes purchases.
