Anything wrong with this? Apart from it being out of stock.

Nothing wrong with it, but it is unlikely to be back in stock at anything like that price for a number of months - the factories making 60% of the worlds hard drives have been flooded.

that seems crazy cheap!
Won't be a quick top of the range drive, but perfectly acceptable for general use i'd expect.

Wot Cranberry said.

Look at the price of the 1Tb version - £212 😯

I bought the same WD elements 1Tb drive (although that was a USB 3.0 version so slightly higher spec) from Comet about six weeks ago for £59 and that was the high street price - last time I looked the weekend before last it was £90 instore.

I did read somewhere that some speculator had bought up a massive amount of the stock from the manufacturers and is trickling it into the market to keep the price high.

Edit: Just checked the Comet website and the USB 2.0 version is £79.99 so the £212 that Kikatek are asking is a real piss-take.
