1.5TB Core2 Desk HDD only £59.16 Maplin Electronics

Hi all,

Just saw you can get 1.5TB Core2 Desk HDD from Maplin Electronics including delivery to Ireland for £59.16. It's originally £49.99 but when you add postage it costs £59.16.

Amazing bargain and the 1TB Core2 Desk HDD is more expensive for some reason.

Here's the link

Same one is about the same price (if you're inc. del) €62.92 from MemoryC in Celbridge, free pick up or + €5.75 for post or courier delivery.

Still no bargain....

Just like yours....

but i bet anyone reading the OPs post would take a second look after seeing my post.

EDIT. also whats this core2 about? Trying to fool people or something?

I would be sticking with something here at normal price they seem to be some better deals.

MemoryC have a free delivery option atm, and here's a discount code from another thread...

Op with a title like that i half expected to see a link to a desktop machine in here. Very misleading

ok....

i suppose what i meant by the post is that people should not be berated for posting about possible Bargain Alerts. Even if its not the cheapest price available - It at least starts a conversation about the product and where to source it elsewhere.

It also stops people posting in the future,

Just my 2c.

OP thanks for the link.

Is the real deal I think and is not a joke. Looks like a great deal if you ask me. I wont buy it as have 1tb drive already. And as for the Core thing thats the name of drive as far as I know.

Agreed but tis slightly misleading.

Anyhoo....

Core as far as i know Core, or (CN) is some german company... Core2 came from Usb 2.0 .
2 year warrenty on that drive.

just a mix up id imagine, cos theres nothing called core2

The price of hard drives have come down considerably in the last while. Any drive 1TB or more would have been in excess of €100 previously.

I understand that there may be cheaper deals out there but you cannot expect anyone to know all the prices being asked.
