    They have a Medion(MD97710) External DVD writer for 60 euro and a Medion (MD97711)External DVD/Cd Burner for 39.99 in Mayfield. Pardon my ignorance but are they both external hard drives or something different - all those things look the same to me.

    Couldn't find one in my local Aldi.. I asked the manager and he hasn't heard of it, so it's not a country wide deal :(

    I popped into Tesco's though, and managed to pick up a Hitachi 500Gb portable drive for 39.95 (reduced from 69.95).. Last one on the shelf.

    They're burners. You want a hard drive not a burner.

    They are portable and USB powered but I'd say at this stage there are none left anywhere bar some aldi on the Aran islands or somewhere like that.

    None in the Longmile road this morning :(

    I got one of them in Dundalk yesterday. It looked like the last one but didnt ask if there were any more. They had the 640GB ones for €60 though.
    Cheers OP it will be handy for backups.

    + seagates typically woeful thermal design - vents on the bottom YET AGAIN :confused:

    Who puts a 7200rpm 3.5" drive in plastic box with no top or side vents and no active cooling - an idiot.
