  ...a high performance USB 2.0 external 500GB Disk Drive + 3-Port Hub

Live Support

At last!  Everything you need in an external disk drive. 

Now with latest Seagate 7200.12 disk drive

  • Ultra fast SATA-II disk inside. 
  • Latest Seagate 7200.12 Series disk, 500GB platter
  • Fast USB 2.0 connection
  • Solid Aluminium body for quiet cooling
  • One-touch button and backup software
  • 3-Port USB Hub on the front
  • Full 2 Year Warranty 

This disk case is made from solid aluminium so both sides dissipate the heat and allow these new high-speed 7200rpm disks to be used intensely for extended periods without overheating.

Uses very latest Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 disk built on perpendicular recording technology to deliver new levels of hard drive data density, capacity and reliability.

The disk drive uses the very latest 500GB per platter perpendicular recording technology, enabling massive capacity without increasing heat compared to previous generation disks.

PCClone Backup software is bundled, which responds to a press of the backup button on the front of the unit.  The software will then start a backup of the folders on your PC that you have selected.  See below for screenshots.

On the front of the unit are 3 USB 2.0 ports, enabling devices like USB2 memory cards, or digital cameras, to be connected to your PC through the disk drive's USB connection.

Prior to shipping we fully format the disk (as a single NTFS partition) guaranteeing that you can plug in the disk and use it within seconds.  If you want the disk partitioned into multiple drives, or different formats (e.g. for Apple Mac or Win98/Me), then let us know, and we will do it free of charge prior to shipment.

You can use the disk to capture over 200 hours of DVD video, 38 hours of broadcast quality DV video, 66,000 MP3 songs, 170,000 photos (at 6 Megapixel resolution) or as a massive disk for data or backups.

The postage charge for CityLink next business day delivery (to UK mainland addresses) provides full insurance. You will need to be present to receive the mail.  Just look at our feedback to see how quickly our customers receive their products!

Hardware Installation

If you have a USB 2.0 port already on your PC, then there is nothing to do apart from plugging in the disk and turning on its power.  Windows plug and play will recognise the disk and it will appear with its own drive letter, just like any other disk.

If you need a USB 2.0 PCI card or a Cardbus/PCMCIA card for your laptop, then checkout our EBay Shop. You will not find a better value solution.

If you are not sure if you have USB 2.0 then see how to tell if you have USB2 ports on your PC.
