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:

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.

mp3ireland2 · 03-02-2011 06:26PM

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.

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 · 03-02-2011 07:33PM

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!

Fnz · 03-02-2011 08:17PM

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.

coldfire1x · 03-02-2011 08:34PM

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

Kramer · 03-02-2011 09:31PM

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

tommy21 · 03-02-2011 09:59PM

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.

Jackobyte · 04-02-2011 12:07AM

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 · 04-02-2011 12:23AM

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

iknorr · 04-02-2011 12:28AM

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

opr · 04-02-2011 03:51AM

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

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.
