Does what it says on the tin

Bought this to replace a Samsung 640Gb drive that was in a Transcend StoreJet Portable drive (also purchased from MemoryC). The 640Gb was the first drive that I've ever had that broke (and I've had drives since 1993) but I guess the law of averages states that I was due to get a dud at some stage. Anyway, this one is now mounted successfully inside the Transcend case and is operating successfully as a PVR drive connected to a Xoro HD sat box. Time will tell on reliablility but so far so good. Price was within an acceptable percentage of similar goods from UK-based retailers and delivery was so much faster so thumbs up to MemoryC on that front.
