Cheap 500GB external hard drive (UK residents)

I'm not sure if this can be shipped abroad but this is an especially good deal considering the price that it was cut down from - about £130 originally. The HDD comes with back up software but you can still access the drive and create folders on it - for 32 bit windows systems, XP/Vista. I'm running one on Vista Home Premium 32bit and it works great! Comes with a 5 year warrranty.

Seems a bit high. Assuming a 1:2 USD exchange rate Maplin is asking $140.

Newegg wants $125 for it (free stateside shipping):

Thanks for strengthening the deal there, TaranT! That'll be useful for US residents, definitely. I still think it's a good price though, especially for the prices I have seen. It's still quite a steal for me. The 750gb version is also on offer there, if anyone is interested. Look out for it.
