UK pricing is yet to be announced, but our friends across the pond are expected to pay between $330 and $380 for 2TB models.

...which works out to be about £330 - £380 here?

Or £295 from Scan

[MadduckUK]

yeah, that can stay on the shelf for a while

[stevie lee]

hmm the 'funkstar link' says its £225. if its exactly the same hard drive inside as this one http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/2TB-W...2MB-Cache-0-ms then the hard drive + enclosure is £25 cheaper.

might be worth buying these instead of the stand alone hard drives. especially if raiding.

[MadduckUK]

thats a double wide enclosure, usually two drives inside those? so 2x1GB here

[Funkstar]

Oops. I read the right one, hence the price, but copied the wrong link

this should be it: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/2TB-W...RJ45-USB-20-11

[MadduckUK]

doesn't even have an eta yet :/ and the price is horrific

[Funkstar]

£43 more than the bare OEM drive from scan, Doesn't seem that horrific considering you are getting an external case and it's a retail unit.

I wouldn't buy one though. Much better getting an IcyDock of Akasa case for it.
