[elmonomalo]

Hey guys...
Gotta love these forums, reliable and informative ... I wanted to see if anyone knows any information on a company named edge i was interested in possibly buying an external 120 gb usb 2 HDD w firewire from them.

Here is the link....

Wow... that's really cheap. Never heard of them... but hey. If it's a good price... lol. If I were you... i'd wait and get a western digital or something like that... something from a more well-known and reliable company.

good price for what it is! You're getting a lot for your buck!

Maybe it would be worth a wait until a bigger company comes up with something like that, but it would be more expensive, so it is probably not worth it...

not sure about US money but that is really cheap

same here, are you sure that its a proper website? it might be, cus its too good to be true, although i dont konw us money.

 

[dyserq]

Yea
Somehow, the saying that if something is too good to be true it probably is always comes to mind
I wouldn't risk it to be honest, especially with a company whcih people haevn't heard of, it may not be reliable and could be fraudulant
Go with the more well known companies, such as Sony and Panasonic

yeh, if you gave them your bank details, think t=what they could do, i wouldnt to be on the safe side, lol

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

I think it is worth the risk, looks like a safe site, it is a good bet it is just young and has offers. Lots of start ups do Amazon must have once!

I know the website (mother buys from there) but I just don't know the company... well I've decided i'm probably going with another model or a thumbdrive... i've read reviews and everyone says those palm usb HDD's get extremely hot.
Thx everyone

Why would you want a Hot Thumb Drive in your Palm? It would burn you! BURN YOU!

Haha, yeah. Thumb Drive is probably more reasonable, easier to carry. I, myself, though, would get that if I had the money. You won't get so much space externally for such a great price anywhere.
