I think jnm21 was referring to the fact that if you spend 5 minutes signing up to AVForums, you get free delivery from Scan (and seems to be pretty fast via CityLink rather than the usual 'SuperSaver' where you end up waiting a week). See here on how you can take advantage of this offer.

This drive has Automatic Acoustic Management (AAM) enabled by default which makes it operate at a quieter sound level but slows down the performance of the drive.

I used Hitachi's Feature Tool to disable the AAM and the drive is atleast 20% faster with it disabled and its not much louder either.

Sorry - I thought this was hotukdeals, not dealsforsale - get over yourself - there are many offers not even available to me on here (as I live in NI), but I can still appreciate the deals - I don't cold vote or post negative comments on the homebargains threads, just because I don't live in the midlands.

For example your ebuyer deal would be about £10 to £20 dearer inc. delivery to here.

There is that current offer, a Hexus one, something about answer 10 other user questions on Scan & I believe there was a (now closed) HUKD free delivery offer.

Just for your information jnm21, I did not cold voted this, and as far I am concerned my comments are not negative at all.
