Hmm, checked yesterday and that was the price for the 1tb version.
Very good if that's the price in your local store.

They weren't this price in the Redditch store yesterday - they were reduced by £5 or so from the usual price, but not clearance prices. Doesn't mean that they aren't today though!

Could do with one of these for my ps4, but I have a feeling this is a massive wild goose chase

Ignored the comments about geese and whether this was a national or regional deal and just took a drive down to my local. They had two 1TB empty boxes on the shelves, not what I wanted but they were £27.50 each when scanned, so I took the plunge. The sales assistant went to check stock in the back as they were showing 0 in stock. When she got back she didnt find any 1tb, but found one 2TB and one 4TB!!! Happy days, so a BIG FAT THANK-YOU to the OP!!!

You can open the drive and put it into the ps4 internally.
Then use the stock 500gb as am external unit.

I take that it's desktop sized, rather than a laptop (2.5") size?

Just as an edit to the info for Rugby branch. They are not kept on the shelves so don't bother looking, please go to the Pay Desk at the back of the store near the electricals and ask there for it as they kept getting stolen they keep them locked away. Got ours over an hour ago and they had 6 left. Good Luck.

The Seagate expansion is a 2.5" drive inside a usb 3.0 connector case.
Perfect fit for internal drive for ps4

Can anyone tell me what the 4tb one is. I cant see that they do it in portable hard drive is it a 3.5 drive?

Portable but thicker than average, so might not fit most laptops or PS4s.

Store specific are irritating "offers" on the rare occasion it is local, it's normally bullsh** or a one-off

The one in the picture looks like 2.5". Ensure you have 2 copies of your valuable daa because these have high failure rates.

I saw these in the Hatchwarren store in Basingstoke - were there at 17:00 today. Only plastic boxes with the "take it to the till" tickets in them. No idea how many would be available - sorry

I bought this exact one yesterday from currys £72.99, totally ripped off now after seeing this deal.

Thank you.
Just in time too, as I'd just run out of space.
Bought 2 in Arnold (Nottingham) branch. There are 4 left.

I too popped into my local as I was already in town, I wasn't expecting to see any because all the other times I've been in looking for posted deals they never have the items or are at full price. This time I was surprised to see the tickets were showing with the discounted price but non on the shelf so I asked if they had any in stock, the nice young man came back a minute later with some hard drives.
It was my first wild goose I managed to get my hands on at Sainsbury's. It just goes to show that you will come across a deal eventually if you keep checking the stores. Like they say, you have to buy a ticket to have a chance of winning the lottery. My thanks to OP.

Nope, no sign that they sell hard drives at all just memory cards.
storminbalders
3 Jun 17#40
Same with me. But I asked, and sure enough, they had them.
I'm not surprised they don't sell if they're not on display. Not even any empty shelf space for them!

Just popped into the bognor store to ask and sure enough, they have them out back!

Got them out back in Bognor, just need to ask at the electrical desk!
Denziloshamen
3 Jun 17#46
Was that in Bognor or Chichester?
Denziloshamen
3 Jun 17#47
OK! I'll be off to Sainsbury's ASAP then. Thank you for asking!! Do you know how many they had?

3 Jun 17#48
Many thanks OP for alerting us.
Got the last ones from Farnborough and Watchmoor Park yesterday and today.
When I phoned yesterday, I was told Alton had some left.

Got one. Which means anyone looking to buy one and they don't have any out, you need to ask at the electrical desk to see if they have any stock. Not sure why they don't have any sign in the shop that they actually sell these (but that's fine for this deal as only those in the know can get them).

Just went into a store and they had the 2tb out back but was scanning at £63.50. Anything I can do to get the lower price ? Cheers
storminbalders to SuperSportBilly
3 Jun 17#51
When I went, the staff member came back with about 4 different models. All 2tb and all Seagate. The only difference I could see was that of colour.
They all scanned at the £63.50 except the one pictured in this deal (namely the black one) which was £39.50.
SuperSportBilly
4 Jun 17#52
Ok thanks - think he scanned two and both scanned at £63.50 but come to think of it don't think either were black. Think I'll go back and try as I think he just picked up a couple from out the back and may well have others - I'll ask if they have any black 2TB. Cheers.

The people buying for PS4 are using the drive as intended, for external storage. There is no longer any need to go through the faff of replacing the hard drive (a faff because of the back up and transfer of data needed).

OK. Thanks for that info. Don't have a PS so had no idea apart from the numerous requests of people on various threads wanting to extract bare drives from these sorts of portable drives for fitting internally.
Denziloshamen
4 Jun 17#56
I've seen those posts and it baffles me as to why they'd bother now external drives are supported.

got one, but returned it because it didnt seem to work. it turned on but it was not recognized by pc. tried with cable from othrr hard disk n nothing either. it was beeping in a very quiet way, almost inaudible, not sure if that is how it works or was indicating something.
Anybody else experienced this?
