Not exactly the same but

Maplin have a 400GB external for ~90UKP.
The 500GB model is still ~170 which is IMHO normal insane "high street"
pricing. IMHO maplin are never cheap.

Lidl was selling a 320gb usb drive with SMB/Ftp access via rj45 net
connection for a similar price. Aldi periodically do a 250GB drive
for ~70.

And this is "brick and mortar". Net *should* be cheaper.
