Seagate 500 Gb wireless €36

seagate 2TB slim usb3 2 prices €38 €32
Seagate 1TB €21

You can bring the argos one back, just say the 'read time' is too slow and you think there's something wrong with it!

Hard drives are excluded from their 30 day money back guarantee, if faulty theyll only send it for repair.

Ah ok, ya never know though, if you get some busy young wan behind the counter she mightn't be reading the terms and conditions... It'd probably have to be repackaged and back in the box to have a chance.

Wren they scan the barcode it'll flag as non returnable, it flags when paying and they also tell you. Only way to return is if the shrink wrap is intact or its faulty.

Thank you OP

Just got myself an absolute bargain, got a 1TB External Seagate HD with built in WiFi and a 10 hour battery so you can take it on the go, €160 in Argos & PC World, got it for €21, happy days

Speedwell · 01-07-2016 10:47AM

Yes, but if you use your hard drive in some unspecified way that violates an unpublished and unpublishable "security" rule that Tesco has set up internally, will their tech support refuse to assist you until you to send them a copy of your passport?

2TB Gingernut HDDs will be available soon from Amazon at the old Jacobs Factory in Tallaght.

I've just been to Tesco in Greystones and there's not even a sign of them ever having been on sale, and the staff member I asked knew nothing about the offer. Is it just certain stores maybe?

Nothing in Clearwater Finglas either. There was a sign for a Seagate, but just dust on the shelf.

ActingDanClark · 01-07-2016 11:31AM

If the seal is unopened on the Argos item my experience is they'll take it baxk

deadanonymau5 · 01-07-2016 12:08PM

Not sure whether to bother going out to my local Tesco since other store didnt have them

ibFoxer · 01-07-2016 12:13PM

I hope to check Nenagh at lunch, if I get time.

sundodger5 · 01-07-2016 12:16PM

Only one 1TB toshiba portable drive in Castlebar. No price on it though. Found a price checker and 21.03...thanks OP

All I could see were some 1TB WD Passports for the regular price of €91 or thereabouts. No sign of any special offers anywhere near the other PC/phone stuff.
