500GB media tank £39.99 +p&p NOW £49.99 +p&p

Just came across this on Amazon merchants. This ATMT media tank normally retails at over £100 now reduced to £39.99 + p&p which I think is a bargain even if you only use it as an external harddrive.

I've ordered one (on my credit card to be on the safe side) I'll let you all know when it arrives and if it's any good!

I ordered one too. Bit of a risk I think but I needed to buy a new external drive anyway and was about to cough up a lot more than that so figured it was worth a punt.

That's another £45 this site's cost me.

Hope it's as good as it seems.

I thought credit cards only provided extra security for purchases over £100?

are you certain it actually comes with the HD and dvd writer? Just curious, as I know some non-amazon-direct things mislead on their description - and the box certainly mentions nothing about having HD and writer preinstalled - so it could just be a front bezel for the writer. Also the other site advertises it as supporting up to 750gb HDs etc and not saying anything about what comes in.

If it does indeed come with the HD and writer it is a v good bargain, but I'm bit suspicious that its misworded...so yas might have to be chasing it up when get it delivered

compare it with this one

def seems too good to be true - being amazon orig prob sold it at a set price till out of stock, but market place sellers prob just slapped their price on for the shells. It is tempting to try mind....wonder where it stands if once they send you an empty shell if they're obligated to complete the order with whats advertised. Though would probably use the No Longer In Stock getout


Just noticed on that one it says "1 Some memory card may require external power supply" - I'd have thought the whole bleedin lot would have needed a powersupply and not a memory card :-S

I think that means there are 2 traders selling them. I can't see where it says this company has only two in stock. But it wouldn't surprise me if you are right!

i've bought one too. One reassuring thing was this;
"We're writing to confirm your purchase of the following item from seller

ATMT being the manufacturer - that can only be a good thing right!?
