Well maybe shitty was a bit harsh. Still, I haven't come across them before and I always stick to Western Digital/Toshiba/Seagate etc for drives. As I said, the freecom is most likely IDE and thus will be potentially slower compared to a SATA drive used in a SATA interface. I realise the above caddy I recommended is USB but since the drive is SATA II it could be used inside a computer at a later date or via a SATA-E cable to an external port. Read/write speeds will be much quicker in those cases.
Further, the freecom works out at at-least (given we don't know the
postage cost) 23 pence a GB, while the Western digital I mentioned above, with the caddy works out at 17.5 pence a GB.
Just my 2 pence.
