Where can I get cheap hard drives?

[grimreeper132]

I need a several of cheap 2.5" hard drives, capacities listed below.

2X 1TB OR 4x 500GB

2X 120-240GB (both need to be the same size)

2x 80GB-100GB

(these are all minimum, going with the cheapest, but 6 drives minimum, 16 MAX)

where would I be able to get these cheap, in Scotland, (places like craigslist isn't applicable where I am)

 

any help would be lovely, thanks

Cash Converters maybe? never looked at what they offer pc-wise, only ever used CEX.

fair enough, I'll check there as well, as I need to get some of these and the last place I looked wanted £80 for a 1TB 2.5" drive, which is more than a new 2.5" drive

Could always check out some local computer shops too and ask what spare laptop drives they have laying around.

I have two "close by" one I don't know they sell HDDs, and the other does but is about 40 miles away so is a pain to get to at times

goharddrive is one.

and I have a link to used server parts that has stuff cheap. don't have that link on this computer. google it. some places are expensive though so it might take a little effort to find the right one.

tell me about the expensive, I can get all of what I need for £100 or I can get one DELL enterprise hard drive (which is used) 5400Rpm for £80 (£96 including VAT), this is for a HP proliant I have bought, so server shit should be fine

Do you have that link yet? As I am currently looking at £116.50 (2X1TB @ £38 each, 1X500GB @ £22 each and 2X80GB @ £8 each and £2.50 postage) so I am trying to get that down as much as possible, which is quite hard surprisingly

[LabRat]

I'm not near that machine and won't be for a while. try googling for stuff. I'm in the U.S. anyways. won't do you any good. but used server stuff is the cheapest I've found. you can get cards and everything.
