    Why the uncertainty?

    This seems like a great price for an external drive.

    Do you know something we don't? Have I missed something?

    I was giving the link to help people out as the OP hadn't included it, but I was just making it crystal clear (or so I thought, anyway) that me giving the link didn't necessarily imply that I thought it was a good price

    Bought one of these today from Maplin in Bishopsgate:

    Excellent price for an external DVD rewriter, ideal for people with laptops or who don't want to open up their computer to install an internal one. Contrary to what the page says it's compatible with Macs too. (I'm using mine with an iBook). I'm happy with it so far, it's very quiet in use.

    The page lets you check stock at your nearest stores.
