Remember you've got to add VAT to Ebuyer prices, so you are looking at over £50 for the ones you mentioned in your first post.Originally Posted by Peerzy
That said, if you get something shipped from the US you will almost certainly have to pay VAT on that too, so your $80 would go up to about $94 (equivalent). Add Paypal charges and shipping costs and you would probably find that method more expensive.
Have a look at ccl for 300GB Maxtor drives, £ 122.66 inc VAT for P-ATA, £ 125.89 inc VAT for SATA.
Edit: @Vivitron_15: sorry, I didn't notice your link.

.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
IDE drives at komplett
I've bought a lot of stuff from their swedish site, worked well for me. Amazingly enough I think we get much better deals on the same drives, or we did when I checked last anyway.
EDit: yep, I think we still do.

From my own personal experience I stay away from maxtor drives, I've had three HD fail on me and all three were Maxtors, one was a 10 gig, 13 gig, and 60 gig, the 60 gig died within a few months, other manufacuters I've had, IBM, Segate and Western Digital, never had any of those manufacturers fail, I have a couple of segate 2.5 gigs that work just fine to this day, and right now I have 4 segates ({2} 40gigs, {1} 120 gig, {1} 400 gig) and one WD ({1} 120 gig) so I tend to lean towards segate, hey go with what you know works...
