    I placed an order for one yesterday by using the Google checkout option and I haven't heard anything about the order being stop or cancelled yet.
    When I tried to use the site's check out option it looks like it needs a UK phone number to allow a valid registry

    Jimmy, If you can collect from their warehouse in Parkwest it saves on postage.

    Tesco in Clarehall are doing 500 GB for 84 and 360 gb for 63. I saw them there yesterday. I think they were iomega.

    I would be hesitant on buying an iomega drive. I bought two 320 gig drives from daps.ie. about 2 years ago. The hard drive on one failed within two months. The USB port on the side of the other came loose a few months ago. I tried soldering it back but the board was too flimsy and was never designed to be repairable. The drive itself is fine, although with the price of HD enclosures these days IM begininning to wonder would I just be better off throwing into my next pc.
