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.

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 helps0 -
just been looking and the 320GB Iomega at ebuyer has 2 +ve reviews:
