Assuming that the model is a WD15EARS (my 1TB model is a WD10EARS) that would seem to save £20 over the Amazon price for the internal drive (I haven't taken any P&P difference into account). I don't think I'd bother for that level of differential.
Don't touch these drives. They use proprietary boards that are about as thick as a fag paper and the lack of physical support for the USB connector means that it's poorly soldered connectors will come adrift from the mobo. When it does, re-soldering is almost impossible due to the placement of a plastic strip. Due to the presence of a hardware encryption chip, removal of components and some very delicate soldering will be necessary to attach it to a standard SATA interface. Absolutely dreadful!
I am currently attempting to retrieve data from one of these drives that like so many of them, has suffered from broken connectors. It's controller board is currently with a local electronics company who have flow soldering etc equipment. The cost would be prohibitive if I didn't know the manager there.
You're better off buying a decent external case and a drive of your choice.
