Iomega eGo 500GB Portable USB 3.0 Red €34.99


Pretty good price for a USB3 external drive. It's a bit small for my needs, though it might be of use to somebody....

:pac:

jenno86

Reserved one in Castlebar. Thanks OP!

Have been on the look out for a cheap back up HD got the last one in Kilkenny

Great deal OP

Already out of stock in Galway. Really annoying, I was looking for a portable hd.

Very good value, showed it to one of the lads here in work who's looking for a hard drive. Wonder if its a mis price? or is red that much out of fashion?

Great BA, thanks.

I don't think their out of stock, it's just their not receiving them till Monday/Tuesday, so you can still reserve:

at Galway
Can be ordered
for collection
Wed 9th - Fri 11th February

at Castlebar
Can be ordered
for collection
Tues 8th - Thur 10th February

I wouldn't hold my breath for one of these drives.
The other 2 colours they come in are priced at €99.00 each.

Tried to place a reservation but argos system not allowing it.

out of stock cbar & gwy

MASTER...of the bra

I tried to reserve and it just said out of stock, no reservation number like it normally gives. I think it's another 1 of those great deal no stock offers they are becoming infamous for.:(

phasers

I got the "Can be ordered" thing, I reserved it but got no reservation number in the email...

Same here, Think they've copped an error!

Wasn't able to reserve one - says "out of stock" at the stage that you'd normally be presented with the reservation number.

Shame, it would have made a bargain worthy of song. Hope some of ye manage to wrangle one at the lower price.

Great but it doesnt work, tried different stores, got mails but no reservation number or txt.

Reserved earlier........just collected @ €34.99......Limerick Crescent store.

tommy21

None left in Cork shocker :rolleyes: Good find OP but think it's probably one of those ones where there is a handful in stores.

Yep. It was in stock at the time though.

I've been looking for a USB3.0 HDD cheaply since I got my new laptop. Out of stock locally though. If anyone got a reserve code they aren't going to use in Limerick, can I have it?

nulabert

Usual Argos deal - all sold out... They prob had 5 at that price.

iknorr

anyone know of anymore hard drive deals? either portable or just external hard drive?

opr

Its clearly a misprice surely. The exact same drives in Silver and Blue are 99 euro.

Edit - Smaller version in red 87 Euro - http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9294738/Trail/searchtext%3EIOMEGA.htm

Price is now €99 on the site.

I think Argos are pretty good about these kind of situations. If you have it reserved at a certain price then that's what they expect you to pay.

The other 500GB compact edition Portable Hard Drive would be a perfect alternative but its not in stock at the moment.

Look no further. Not as great a deal as the OP's, but as has been said there were probably 5 of those for the whole country.

I said 'nope, I reserved it at €35'. manager fiddled with computer, said that when I ordered it the price was €35 so thats the price I pay.

I asked if it was a misprice, he said it probably wasn't

Thanks for that. Will probably pick one of those up. Almost double the price though.
