Both of my Seagate drives came from Maplin and they were the cheapest anywhere in the country at the time.Don't buy from Maplin.......... as they know nothing and are expensive.
I did not go there for advice since an external hard drive is a pretty basic piece of kit
As always, buy a reputable brand and shop around for the best price from a shop that you have heard of.
A branch of Maplin is just down the road from my office so if anything goes wrong, returning an item is easy.

Saw one here go for 500, IF it's there tomorrow, I have the chance of a new one for well under 500 with guarantee.
Serious answer's only....
DO I NEED ONE?
Who has one and swears by it?
Is the AF going to spoil it for me?
Looked at some prices on line and it ain't cheap in the UK.
These ARE serious questions.

Probably my most used lens - I would never part with it.Saw one here go for 500, IF it's there tomorrow, I have the chance of a new one for well under 500 with guarantee.

There are only four cocktails worth drinking (IMHO!):
G&T (obviously) made always with Schweppes tonic,
A really dry Martini, but only as an aperitif,
Bloody Mary, made with unsweetened tomato juice.
Champagne cocktail, but only if made with Champagne.
Daiquiris, of course, are another matter altogether, but don't taste the same outside the Caribbean.
Anyone who mixes Scotch with anything other than spring water is a Philistine.
Bourbon and similar stuff, on the other hand, need to be mixed, preferably at a ratio of a hundred of whatever to one of whiskey. Useful chiefly for serving to friends whom you don't want to see again.

Sorry, but a Rusty Nail is not Scottish
Mixing Scotch with Drambuie is just a waste, and was probably thought up by some 'Lowlander' that couldn't appreciate a good whisky.
Apparently the idea of mixing Scotch with Drambuie originated in New York in the 30's.Sorry, but a Rusty Nail is not Scottish

A much better idea than disguising vodka with orange juice

You can't get much more Scottish than a rusty nail

I have a couple of Seagate external drives.
Have a look at the Maplins website - usually some good offers on there.
