as title say's

does anybody male a 3tb portable hard drive . takes power from computer & does not req a 240v power lead

cheers jgc

Nearest was a 2TB on Novatech @ near enough £100 or WD @ £125 .

 

ETA - this ,although its 4TB, might fit the bill http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/harddrives-external/desktopusb3.0/0s03400.html

@ £144

I dont think there are any 2.5 inch 3TB HDD's yet, biggest is still 2TB. For larger you'll need desktop, mains powered external drives.

He did say 'portable' which is 2.5" USB powered and the 3.5" mains fed ones are known as 'desktop' in external drive terms.

 portable is the order of the day the smaller the better as it is carried around in my rucksack so usb powered & not mains fed less to carry & smaller

 

vwd what 4tb usb power fed are you talking about as it could be worth a look

Not up on drive sizes, as I've had normal PC drives fit in a caddy . Old hat ,as IDE, but with correct SW could connect HDD or CDROM.
