Time for me to give back to the community that has given me so much.

This OW store just opened last week but the opening specials started today. There are some others but the hard drive takes the cake.

It's only this one store, but you could try to get your local OW to price match :)

Edit: according to others below you can tear it out and use it in a laptop or other device, so it should be a standard SATA 2.5" drive, and is a Samsung 5400rpm drive.

Has to be the cheapest 320Gb hdd around.

Also there are heaps, just on the racks I could see at least 50.

EDIT: Just uploaded the pic of the ad that was in some newspaper, couldn't tell which one the manager of the store had it. Should do better than a receipt for those that need something to show other stores.

Bonus: Between 7-11am free juice is being served for all

    "Not sure if you can tear it out and use it in a laptop or other device, if anyone knows I might go back and pick up some more"

    I am using it for my ps3 right now. So, yes you can use it for your laptop or ps3.

      yes.. same here! i got this in my ps3 now.. got the ps3 12g console deal from target recently :)

        would you guys know its rpm - 5400 or 7200rmp? thanks.

        • azz7 on 06/05/2013 - 19:35

          The ones I bought use a Samsung ST320LM001 drive, 5400rpm

        Is that USB 3.0 version that you bought ?
        How to open it ?

        edit: Just able to open it and I can confirm it was samsung drive. Model: ST320LM001

    Cheap price but kinda av value in terms of $ per GB.

    • m2000 on 06/05/2013 - 19:12
      +2

      But if you don't need that much GB or don't want to spend too much, it's GOOD value

      • King Tightarse on 06/05/2013 - 19:14
        +1

        Sure if you need just any cheap 2.5 drive its good, but 1TB at that rate = $90.63, so just av. in terms of storage bangeth for bucketh.

        • Jackson on 06/05/2013 - 21:44

          For this price you can have a drive for your PVR and your PS3 above, but also for that dodgy old laptop with the dead hard drive that's perfect for someone else, or as a server, or any other project. If you were after GB/$ you'd probably be going for a 3.5" drive.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/05/2013 - 19:17

    10 of these in raid 5?

  • deal88 on 06/05/2013 - 19:19

    Using one for PVR function on a Samsung TV. I thought $39 was cheap.

  • ausbob71 on 06/05/2013 - 19:20

    I bought 2 of these from OW in another deal for $39ea great drives I would pick up a couple more if they were available elsewhere for $29.

  • DEvok on 06/05/2013 - 19:24

    Other stores could price match and beat by 5% in there policy.

    • SydStrand on 06/05/2013 - 19:42

      Who else has a 5% price match scheme and stocks this product besides OW?

    • aec on 06/05/2013 - 19:49

      i was told by the guy (office works on clarence street, sydney) in ow that they did not price match other ow stores

      • unity1 on 06/05/2013 - 19:54

        I was told the same too. I thought you work for OW DEvok so how come you don't know that?

  • Johnx on 06/05/2013 - 20:30

      242

      • Johnx on 06/05/2013 - 21:35

    I was in the 242 Pitt Street store just before closing time this evening. In case it helps someone, there were easily more than a couple of dozen of these (at $29.00 each) remaining on display (directly in front of the registers, facing away from them).

    • browser on 06/05/2013 - 23:47

      There are plenty more at the laptop section.

      • aec on 07/05/2013 - 07:34

        thanks, i will check it out after my breakfast (already in the office)

  • Craze on 06/05/2013 - 22:52

    Thanks just in time when I'm in need of a HDD, old laptop running out of HDD space now. Will try to price match at local OW store. Thanks OP!

    • effgee on 06/05/2013 - 23:03

      Will try to price match at local OW store.

      good luck with that…maybe you can get 5% off, then someone else can pricematch that & get 5% off etc until someone can buy one back at Pitt St for 20c

      • andyken on 06/05/2013 - 23:43

        maybe what he meant is price match only without the 5%

  • spiderpig on 07/05/2013 - 00:01

    I saw the ad on page 3 of yesterday's mX

  • thejew on 07/05/2013 - 08:05

    Bugger, it looks like this is a SATA laptop hard drive, I was hoping I could rip it out and use it in a old school PATA laptop :(

  • ChatCPT on 07/05/2013 - 09:10

    Yes just bought one. Plenty left. Good if you need 320gb not so good if you need 1tb

    This OW store just opened last week but the opening specials started today. There are some others but the hard drive takes the cake.

    I thought the new store was in Haymarket but I cannot find any store in Haymarket in their HP.
    do you mind telling me whereabout the new shop?

  • EggMan28 on 07/05/2013 - 11:05

    For Mac users, it's worth it just for the Paragon NTFS software that comes with it which retails for $20

    • aec on 07/05/2013 - 12:08

      u sure? it comes with paragon ntfs?

      • sahat on 07/05/2013 - 13:19

        Under the Mac folder there is a file called "Paragon_NTFS_for_Mac_OS_X_Imation.dmg" for around 36.9MB

  • gibspmuh on 07/05/2013 - 12:59

    Just popped in at lunch time and can concur that there's still heaps of them scattered around the store - at the registers, in the laptop section and also alongside the other external hard drives.

    • songfish on 07/05/2013 - 13:19

      I just left there around 10mins ago. There were 8 left but lots of people in the shop.

  • chuckwow on 07/05/2013 - 13:23

    All gone now.

  • sachyn on 07/05/2013 - 13:43

    All gone. Any other store in CBD which sells this or 500GB at a bargain?

  • Pripan77 on 07/05/2013 - 14:11

    Wow! I picked one up around 10.30-11AM. There were lots left then..

  • Sydneyian on 07/05/2013 - 14:48

    Got 1 at 9.45 this morning. There were around 50 of them remaining. None left at 2 PM.

    • ChatCPT on 07/05/2013 - 18:00

      kewl saves me going in to pick up a second due to all this hype

  • fruitbag on 07/05/2013 - 19:11

    Picked up the last one around 1.15pm today. What I think was the last one anyway, unless there were more hidden out back. Thanks OP

  • macharmaine on 07/05/2013 - 21:16

    what!! 1:15pm?? I was there 12:45pm and didn't see any left on the shelf with the sign still there so I know it is the right shelf.. grrrrr!!! walked around the shelves several times just in case there are some place else but could not find!!

  • skeeo on 07/05/2013 - 21:17

    Yeh defo around 1:15 - 1:30pm, they were all gone. I picked up 2 at around that time as well and there was only a handful left. There were some people there holding and considering which I thought odd. Its $29, buy buy buy!

    320GB Portable HDD by Verbatim are available at Joyce Mayne Toukley for $28. Got 2 today. They said it is that store only though. Priced till they sell out, they have a lot though.
