    Hi withabix

    Do you know the SKU number for the product? (It helps when phoning stores to check for stock.)

    Thanks.

    Sorry, my receipt only has the number corresponding to the barcode on the box: 0690590504196.

    Archos model is 500419.

    It was the only one of these on the shelf.

    They also had a 60GB version in stock. Think that was £49.91 or £69.91 though.

    They've still got a 200GB Maxtor NAS drive in stock at £69.91 as well, if anyone's still interested.

  • Do you think this is a misprice? Seems very cheap indeed.
    Do these work like a flash drive, plug and play?

    sounds about right. They are prolly end of line stock. A definite bargain though..... while stocks last,

    With all these insane 300GB ones out, its about right at the GB to the £1 ratio.

    Haven't opened it yet.

    Have read the manual on the website and it says it works exactly like a USB Flash Drive.

    Can be powered via the USB port or with the supplied mains adapter.

    Yup. £19.91 and it works great!

    Just what I had actually been looking for as well, which makes a change. This site usually makes me spend more!!!

    Barcode = 690590504196. The receipt has an extra 0 at the beginning.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
