What do you think guys, for £50, will it be any good??
Also roughly how many pictures will it hold, Yes I know it depends on the file size ect, but good quality pictures?

I was in aldi today. they also have a 750gb version, I think it was about £80, Well worth the money!.
I've got an endless supply of 160gb drives for free at work at the moment so i've not bought one myself.

Just looked at one of the pictures I was saying about, and there roughly 3.4mb each, so it should be more than big enough for a few 1000 of these ?

73,529 Thumbs Up

250gb = 250,000mb divide by 3.4mb = 73,529 pics.

Not particulary cheap though especially for aldi. Would rather go for a well known brand for the same price off the 'net.

Have a scoot on play.com

Depends what you want it for, desktop generally means you need it connected to mains power so a bit of a pain for lugging around. Portables are cheap as chips now and they run off your USB power.

See that one needs power, does the one I linked too need it ?

Generally the external hard disks based on 2.5" notebook drives do not require an external power supply while those based on 3.5" desktop machine hard drives do.

Think the Aldi one is a 2.5 " one.

All the best
