    Max Operating Temperature 35 °C - is that a usual temp for external hdd's? I've never looked myself, but considering the heat in Melbourne… Great price though, I might get 2.

  • RandomNinja on 12/03/2009 - 08:43

    Very good price, was going to get one and strip it for the HDDs, but they're SATA 1 drives, so not so great as internals. Would be fine as externals!

  • enander on 12/03/2009 - 08:45

    Great price, just ordered one for pickup from Hawthorn.

  • Sycotek on 12/03/2009 - 08:46

    Just bought 2! Strip em for htpc use = :)

  • obeelemon on 12/03/2009 - 08:51

    External USB drives usually have an MOT of 40 °C, so 35 °C is a bit below the norm - most probably due to the enclosure and the manufacture date of the internal drives themselves. I think this particular unit was released in late 2007. The latest hard drives today can operate up to 60 °C.

    Still, a great bargain for 2 x 500Gb of storage! I'm gonna buy one to backup all my music, photos, and movies.

  • gabbyh on 12/03/2009 - 09:00

    Great price. Anyone got any ideas on what brand hard drive this unit uses? Given things such as the recent Seagate firmware issue, the general unreliability of Maxtor unit etc the brand of the hard drive is becoming more important these days.

  • opelcalibra on 12/03/2009 - 09:08

    thanks guys.. just got one. cheers

  • Montag on 12/03/2009 - 09:16

    Thanks.

  • Danielj on 12/03/2009 - 09:18

    Does this includes the HDDs or just the enclosure? It seems to me that it is just the enclosure. Any advice?

    • Danielj on 12/03/2009 - 09:22

      I misunderstood the specification. It is definitely a complete set of external storage and a real bargain. Actually the price misguided me. Thanks any way.

    Given the number of orders listed here, they don't seem to have enough stock to cover!!!

    My order email states "Due to the limited stock availability of clearance products, neither placement of an order, nor email confirmation that we have received your order, guarantees fulfillment of that order.

    Orders are processed on a first come first served basis and we will be considered to have accepted your order only by delivering the goods. If we cannot accept your order for any reason, we will notify you by email or phone.

    If your order is unsuccessful because the stock has been purchased by an order prior to yours, Harris Technology is not required to supply you with any alternative products and has no liability to you whatsoever."

    Hopefully we will all get one!!!!

  • obeelemon on 12/03/2009 - 09:29

    Hmmm the product is no longer available for delivery, which means the distribution centre has sold out. the only units available are the ones that need to be picked up from the business centres.

    Business Centre Pickup
    Fortitude Valley Business Centre (QLD) 7 units in stock

    Hawthorn Business Centre (VIC) 2 units in stock

    North Ryde Business Centre (NSW) 3 units in stock

    Osborne Park Business Centre (WA) 6 units in stock

  • opelcalibra on 12/03/2009 - 09:33

    interesting.. the product is now gone

  • SmartCover on 12/03/2009 - 09:35

    Cant find it anymore, a misprint?

  • darkmattersunB6c0MV on 12/03/2009 - 09:58

    Got two from North Ryde.
    My friend ordered one- so non left at North Ryde.
    Cheers,

  • enander on 12/03/2009 - 10:02

    Got a call from HT with regard to my order, no stock and the order has been canceled!!! As I predicted.

  • apu on 12/03/2009 - 10:10

    I ordered one but had to pay for shipping from anther state.

  • Headstrap on 12/03/2009 - 10:18

    bummer….no stock at hawthorn…but can deliver to me from Qld for extra $15….good enough!

  • Headstrap on 12/03/2009 - 10:28

    just spoke to HT, their systems aren't updated real time so they've taken my order but can't confirm i'll get it…they've processed about 50 orders already….bit of a lucky dip!

    • Headstrap on 13/03/2009 - 11:54

      just got mine! was air freighted from Qld to Melb! impressed!

  • jiakz on 12/03/2009 - 10:30

    $12.69 for postage for me to Melbourne Hawthorn store to pickup

    hey its all gone now… link say product not available (anymore)

  • grab_ur_freebies on 12/03/2009 - 11:17

    Lucky enough to get one! Extra cost $10.92 postage from QLD to NSW for me. Total of $139.92. Still a good deal. Put 2x 1TB'ers in the enclosure & ya got urself a nice external RAID backup, but only running at slower SATA1 speeds….

    • apu on 12/03/2009 - 11:28

      Is it possible to replace the existing 500gb'ers with 1tbs? Or is it somehow limited?

    • dhunterzao on 12/03/2009 - 11:59

      I was called and got the same deal. SATA1 speeds should be okay because you are running it through USB 2.0 anyway which wouldn't make a difference even if you had SATA II drives+interface inside.

    • Noslee on 12/03/2009 - 13:20

      Pretty sure the unit doesn't support RAID

  • Sycotek on 12/03/2009 - 12:07

    Well… I just called up the O/P store in WA and they said that some guy just came in and bought 6-7 units…

    I then asked them about my web order and they advised there was no stock for it… (funny that…)

    OMFG seriously… You would only expect web orders to take pref over walk-ins?!!

    NOT IMPRESSED HT!

  • happyblah on 12/03/2009 - 12:29

    Bad trade practices HT, if you can't provide a real time internet service, stick to store trading.

  • apu on 12/03/2009 - 12:51

    Mine's just been shipped from QLD down to me in Vic. Look forward to receiving it.

  • Sycotek on 12/03/2009 - 13:02

    Got the call to say they haven't got stock - question him about the O/P store selling to the walk-in and He advised that over east they sold 150 units… yet there is no stock for my online order??

    um…

    …

  • ozgamer on 12/03/2009 - 13:06

    happyblah: I predict these guys will be shut down within the next 5 yrs. I know someone who works at one of the stores and their regional manager who came from sister company Officeworks is doing everything to screw these guys over in all facets of the business. They have already shutdown at least 3 stores over Xmas and things aren't getting better.

    In short, nobody cares there anymore so while I don't condone or excuse bad trade practices, it doesn't surprise me.

  • darkmattersunB6c0MV on 12/03/2009 - 13:16

    I actually used one of the HDD, and was not too impressed with the speed. Does Sata 1 make such a big difference? It is still 7200 rpm. Maybe the piece itself was defective?
    The space shown is 931 GB. There are two HDD inside, but you see just one drive on connecting it to the Computer.

    I will check the other one today, and also against the Western Digital 1 TB that I have, to do a comparison of speeds. I think my WD is quite fast ( it has 16 MD cache).

    If it is this slow, I might return it- unless someone at ozbargain is happy with the speed and wants to pick it for what I paid for it- 129 bucks.
    Cheers,

    • Headstrap on 12/03/2009 - 13:23

      where are you located?

    • gl_au88 on 12/03/2009 - 15:14

      varunpunt, i’ll take the hd’s off you :D

      email me @ [email protected] :D

      • darkmattersunB6c0MV on 16/03/2009 - 10:14

        Sorry guys, a mate at work got it from me.
        Not a bad deal at 129.
        I am sure there will be other deals as well soon,
        Cheers,

  • monkp on 12/03/2009 - 13:57

    I plan to visit Valley store for picking up my order this afternoon, somehow they cancel my order a hour ago … what the craps …

    • wobble on 14/03/2009 - 23:35

      Yeah, same thing happened to me at the Brisbane store. Some person from Melbourne bought the one I had put aside and HT called and said they canceled my order.

      Nice customer service HT. NOT!

  • gl_au88 on 12/03/2009 - 15:13

    varunpunt, i'll take the hd's off you :D

    email me @ [email protected] :D

  • apu on 13/03/2009 - 15:06

    Mine arrived to my office in Melbourne City from HT Brisbane in under 23 hrs. Ordered it at 10am yesterday and it arrived by "off peak" courier at 9am this morning.

    Great stuff!
