    You were robbed!

    Bought a 250GB TargaBox in Lidl 2 years ago and only paid 129 euros for it!

    You can get a SUMODISK Freecom 500gb one in Argos for the same price. I think it was actually left out of the main catalogue but it's in the launch one. I got one + its running fine.

    I was in Jervis Shopping centre this afternoon and saw

    Seagate FreeAgent 320GB USB2.0

    selling for €89 in Sony Centre.

    Looks like a very good deal. Komplett still selling this for 95 + you have to pay for devlivery charges.

    And they look lot better that most of the HDD's out there :)

    Same price in Peats according to their website. I may have to pick one up.

    I just wouldn't have the same confidence in a 'Philips' brand HDD.

    I'd never touch a Seagate again - after 4 months the fan died & all my photos with it. trying to open it currently to recover.

    Of course they are :D however this does not matter since yuo are covered by the sale of goods act which protects you for a "reasonable expected lifetime" fpr up to 6 years.

    Now if i could just find a bargain 500gb+ NAS box with built in gigabit switch for under €250 :D
    The Buffalo in the new argos catalog is wrong and it does not have a 4 port switch built in.

    It's cheaper here: http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/551853/art/philips/spe3051cc-500-gb-usb-2-0.html

    but you have to pay delivery charges - worth it if your local tesco does not have them!

    Nice deal, I got the Dabs one for a little less recently. As a matter of interest, is there 8Mb or 16Mb cache with this?

    There were a few on a high shelf in Tullamore on Sunday. I counted 3, could have been faced off like that or there may be more behind those three.
