Thanks for that, just ordered one for myself....


In the spirit of the board I've just reserved ten of these in every Argos in the country including Northern Ireland for everyone else on here, just PM me to let know how many you want and where you want them, otherwise my family are going to be up to their necks in discounted USB hard Drives, electric razors and Call Of Duty games this Christmas....

Only kidding, don't PM me....!

ta, just ordered one myself, glad to get another one before they go back up in price on the 27th......was beginning to regret posting it as a bargain alert when they were all out of stock the last few days

Is it a 2.5" hard drive?

Yes. External, USB 3.0 (works on USB 2.0 too obviously).

Are you thinking of gutting it to put the actual drive into a laptop? Sometimes the disk drive inside an external enclosure does not have a standard connection....

Gadge

A good few popped up around this morning. Seems to be plenty in Limerick if anyone's interested!

WhiskeyGoblin

Can't decide if I should pull the trigger on this or not

batistuta9

anyone know what'd happen if you just went into the shop & asked for the Toshiba, would you get it for €50 or would it be seventy something?

I got the seagate this evening in Liffey Valley

No flash drives in stock

Yep I'm in Limerick and need one but haven't any money till Friday.

Dcully

Just reserved one in Tullamore,bit of an extra trip but worth it i think.
Naas and Portlaoise out of stock, i dont want to risk new stock not arriving which happened me before with argos.

coldfire1x

Are they giving out Seagate one's now or they are still giving out the Toshiba ones?

manutd83

reserve it on line

fillefatale

If there's a wait (mines not in til the weekend) I'm guessing they've got the seagate ones in instead of toshiba.

Dcully

I just collected a Toshiba one.

Thirdfox

Where did you collect from?

Edit: - sorry see you got it from Tullamore.

I did but it wants it collected by the close of business wednesday. I cannot buy it till Thursday at the earliest(paid at midnight) so I know you can extend a reservation. How do I do that?

Store or Customer Service?

Royale with Cheese

Just reserved on of these. Are they definitely USB 3.0 (Seagate or Toshiba)?

They didn't have any usb drives though - I'll have to come back later to get that.

Toshiba is definitely USB 3.0 , i plugged it into my USB 3.0 port on back of PC ie the motherboard,the ones on my case are 2.0
I cant get over how small it is, smaller than my smartphone but thicker

snalan

Thanks OP

Dcully

Well impressed with the speed of this little HD running on USB 3.0

It's tiny! It's actually smaller than my phone volume-wise.

500gb will do me fine for the next while (my laptop only has 320)

Just a heads up folks: If you save the receipt, they will apply the offer of the USB drive (the 4Gb Sandisk Slow-as-feck one, you know) once that they get stock. You just need to show the receipt.

Also: Collected one in Dundrum yesterday and they gave me the Toshiba.

Yup - it's valid for 2 months afterwards. So if it's in stock anywhere in the country you can go and claim your free gift from that store.

Thry gave me the Toshiba in Longford this morn too-thanx for the heads up...

nutts_77

First class bargain.. Picked up the last one in Fundalk. Toshiba too so bonus !! Cheers OP.

The USB sticks seem to be available to order into shops again, just as a heads up for those who didn't get a free gift.

Went into Sligo today with my res number, was told it was on hold to 26th in the message they sent me yesterday, the girl told me it was out of stock and the hold just lasts a day?! Really pissed off.

billy few mates

I called into my local Argos to collect the 500GB HD I had reserved and before I picked it up I had a quick look to see there weren't any other similar offers and spotted this identical drive except with 1TB of storage reduced from €119.99 to €82.99 so I thought for the extra €33 I might as well have the larger drive...

http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9052798/Trail/searchtext%3EUSB.htm#tab3

I already have a couple of 1TB drives similar to this and they both cost well over €120 when I bought them, its quite small and neat and I also noticed when I brought it home that although the ad says its USB 2, the packaging says its USB 3...

It also comes with the free 4GB memory stick which was out of stock but due in on Tuesday so the cashier very kindly reserved one for me....

Picked up mine today,got a Toshiba.No €5 gift card due to the ineptitude of the girl at the counter (in fairness it was her 2nd day on the job) & he eagerness to grab my €50 and put through the transaction before I got a chance to get something to go over the €50 threshold.No flash drives in stock which confused her even more,her colleague was of little help either.

Anyhow,a Toshiba drive for €49.99 is excellent,cheers op:)
