Maplin external HD 400GB for 89.99 (merged)

They (Maplin) have today reduced the 400GB external drives to the same price. I bought a couple from Tottenham Court Road today, they had a couple left but apparently started the day with 15 or so.

Got a few of these at work and they seem reliable so far. Although they're a bit ugly!

Bit like our typists at work too

Not knocking the OP or anything, but IMO I think this is better value for money. 100GB extra for a tenner more.

Don't know what drive is in the Iomega one, but the Maplin one has a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3400633A in it.

Novatech sell a similar Barracuda (7200.8) for £183 (bare drive). I'm sure a techie will be able to give more info on how good the drive is/ differences between.

Still the Iomega drive looks extremely good value, as the cheapest IDE 500GB HDD I've seen is at ebuyer for £118 (bare drive)

I just bought the Maplin one otherwise I would have been sorely tempted by ebuyer

Hope this helps
