Bought it about 30 mins ago.

Maxtor Basics 500gb (Although it's only has 465gb?)

£59.97 :D

465GB as it uses the rest for formatting information.

[Meti]

[Andys]

[DJ-AD!]

Liar

1) That would be around £200
2) It wouldnt say 2307GB, all external hard drivers are rounded figures.
3) I don't even think you can get a 2tb one :|

[Recursion]

We have a network server, HP Media Vault, its a media server/print server that we can put two hard drives in, both 1TB so it could be technically a 2tb ext. drive :P

This is lush tbh :D

No, it's because hardware manufacturers use 1GB = 1 billion bytes however most OSs calculate the space by dividing the number of bytes by 1,073,741,824. So my 1TB drive is 931GB and all 3 of my 500GB drives are 465GB.

Not even close, I have never seen a 1TB drive under £100.

I have a 1T NAS Box, I need it as theres so many people who use it (eg. Friends) so they need there own account and storage limit, so i have to have a NAS Box

(NAS = Network Attached Storage)

[Stephen!]

Wait.. you bought storage for your friends?

Do they live at your house or something?

[habtasia]

No its over the internet, i bought it for coursework but my friends wanted to use it as well
