Want at least a 2TB hard drive, ideally below £100.
Is there much difference between these two apart from the obvious difference in size?

Has to be from scan ideally as I have free next day delivery and I need it soon! :>
Thanks.
Do you actually have USB 3.0 support available where you’re going to use them? If not, going for these is completely pointless, you could get a drive w/ USB 2.0 much cheaper.

Yeah I have USB3 support. =)
I’m not sure which hard drive they actually have inside them, but on paper they seem similar. Bear in mind if you are using a system with 32-bit LBA, you will not be able to address all 3GB without using GPT (which uses 64-bit LBA). Bear in mind also that some older BIOSes may have problems booting from a partition larger than 2^32 LBA units.
