As some of you know, I've been having some problems with my external hard drive.
So I needed to buy a new 1TB.
So I went on eBay and searched "1TB Western Digital" because a poster on one of my threads said that Western Digitals are reliable.
Then I saw this.
I'm really suspisious of the very low price.
Can anyone confirm that this is actually the real product and that it doesn't say in small print that I only receive a USB or something?
Also, why is it so cheap, is it a fake?
Thanks for your help!

It's from China. DO NOT trust this.

Not a stereotype, just the truth.

I wouldn't buy it.... as they say: If it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true.

So basically, don't buy stuff from abroad?

Also, if it was a fake, why would the seller accept refunds?

If you're in the UK, why not buy from a more reputable source? I know you don't have Newegg over there, but what abouthttp://www.overclockers.co.uk/

What do you guys think of my link above?

I'd like to know before I make a mistake such as the Hitachi hard drive I bought for a whooping £90.
