I also have a 2TB Western Digital desktop drive (requires power) which I use for backing up my media collection. I've not had a single issue with either drive over the years that I've had them.

    Decide what you want to store on the drive and then decide how portable you want it to be. Generally speaking, a 2.5" portable hard drive will be powered by USB, making it easy to move around. A 3.5" external drive will require another power source in order to operate, making it less portable.
    Portable would be nice, but I am clean out of space, which is the main problem. Dealing with aspects like a power source is a pain (I've tried) so I think a 2.5" HDD would be best for me. I'll look around. Thanks Tim
  2. iPhone experiment over. I lasted longer than I thought but it was obvious early on that it wasn't going to last. iOS 9 is buggy and it doesn't really multi-task. I've sold it onto a mate while it's still in good condition and I've ordered an LG G4. I haven't used a non stock Android device since the HTC Hero so I'm a little wary but I should get it how I like it with launchers or custom ROMS if needs be.
  3. Toshiba Canvio Connect II 2 TB. USB 3.0. Powered by the PC not the wall outlet. Comes in white, silver, black, red or blue.

    Don't buy Seagate or Western Digital externals. Quality has gone down over the years.

  4. I'd argue the quality of Toshiba external hard drives have depleted too.

    Why didn't you order a Nexus 6p?

    The technology thread wasn't the same without you swapping phones every few weeks. Thank God it's back to normal now.

  8. Hard to find one in stock mainly and it costs £200 more than I have paid for this G4. And all metal phones are ridiculously hard to hold without a case.

    At your service.
  11. First potential deal breaker with the G4 has been solved. The default DPI setting meant everything looked too large on the screen despite the size and resolution. I was seeing way less on the screen than I could on the iPhone.

    A quick command through an adb terminal was all that was needed to adjust. Phew.
  12. looking for a laptop/notebook I mainly wanna go online with and write, maybe watch a dvd, too. it shouldn't be too chunky either. looking at the offers at my local store, they're mostly selling acers, but I'm not a huge fan of those. anyone got any tips?
