        Hope getting Seagate instead of notorious WD Green, but given the price I can not really complain either way

    Oh nooooooo. this isnt happening, just bought seagate for $139!!!!!!

  • KupoHo on 19/11/2013 - 21:40

    I actually need one of these but have no clue about them..is this a good deal, for a mac? Also, is this Australian stock or grey import?

  • Macky1012 on 19/11/2013 - 21:40

    Will this one work if i plug it to a smart tv or a blue-ray player?

    • sonic2011 on 19/11/2013 - 21:53

      Max 2tb in my smart TV. Check your manual for sure.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2013 - 22:19

        I thought even TV's could see 2 volumes at 1.5TB each?

      • Macky1012 on 20/11/2013 - 18:37

        Thanks. Will check that.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2013 - 22:05

    Yes! Thanks in advance. This is the best purchase that I've ever made in a month. I swear I saw Amazon selling this hard drive for $150-ish.

  • robs12 on 19/11/2013 - 22:06

  • rini868 on 19/11/2013 - 22:51

    Fantastic! Was just looking for an external hard drive today.

  • 2pro4sho on 19/11/2013 - 23:05

    My only concern is that is says very limited stock and this deal has at least sold a few 100 already :S. Hope my order isn't cancelled tomorrow

  • demiurge on 19/11/2013 - 23:16

    I wish these come with esata…. my computer's usb3 gets real flaky and would drop out during a long transfer, and after googling it seems to be a windows thing. Esata would be so much better.

    • AdrianW on 19/11/2013 - 23:34

      Try teracopy - it should cope with a flaky connection.

  • chickentaste on 19/11/2013 - 23:51

    expired boys and girls..

  • Yummy on 20/11/2013 - 00:09

    Damn missed! I got 2 of these at home & I reckon these are way better than ext WD HDDs.

    • Brick50 on 20/11/2013 - 07:55

      They probably are WD Drive…

  • aromatase on 20/11/2013 - 00:27

    was this portable or did it require a power supply…either way, seems i missed out! :(

    • R.R.P on 20/11/2013 - 00:30

      3.5" requires a power cable(included of course) 2.5" are the ones without external power.

  • mycosys on 20/11/2013 - 00:46

    Gadget City are AWESOME, have the best customer service around! have had some GREAT previous deals

    • 2pro4sho on 20/11/2013 - 10:27

      I've been using one for almost 12 months with a wdtv live. Never skipped a beat, no problems. Even if you don't use it as an ext hdd, 109 for the internal is a bargain.

  • Son of Matrix on 20/11/2013 - 12:26

    Thanks so much! Well done!

  • savit on 20/11/2013 - 23:20

    Guys, would you be able to confirm the status for those who managed to order it?

    • Yuri Lowell on 21/11/2013 - 00:05

      No update yet.

    • bashar20 on 21/11/2013 - 10:07

      Item Shipped

  • robs12 on 21/11/2013 - 17:46

    Just got a mail saying they've shipped.

  • bluechan on 22/11/2013 - 23:29

    So what HDDs did people get? I'm leaving mine to do a surface scan overnight… Had a bit of damage on my boxes.

    • bashar20 on 23/11/2013 - 11:10

      The HDD inside mine is Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s

    • bluechan on 25/11/2013 - 13:29

      I can confirm both of mine were ST3000DM001 as well.

  • [Deactivated] on 23/11/2013 - 08:27

    mine was packed just in the Aust Post bag with no bubble wrap or anything. It looks like its been dropped a few time with the corners of the box all scrunched up so its more like a ball now than a box. pretty crappy packing for a IT company.
    Will run some tests and if any problems will contact them on monday for a replacement.

  • Yuri Lowell on 23/11/2013 - 10:55

    Mine had no protection at all either except for the retail box. It's crushed in one of the corners too. I haven't opened it up to see if it's okay yet but I'll report back.

  • bashar20 on 23/11/2013 - 11:10

    The HDD inside mine is Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s

    • bashar20 on 23/11/2013 - 11:17

      and it came with Firmware 2.05 and I updated it to latest firmware 2.09

      • brendanAUS on 24/11/2013 - 10:35

        Is it easy to update the firmware. Can you link me to the site you used if possible? Cheers

    • [Deactivated] on 23/11/2013 - 11:17

      same here Seagate Barracuda 7200 going by the firmware number. havent opened the casing in case I need to return it

      • bashar20 on 24/11/2013 - 09:14

        This program allows you to get the HDD Model number without opening the enclosure. (free for 30 days)

  • MarkB4 on 25/11/2013 - 13:26

    Anyone know what the warranty is on these?

    EDIT : I see above - 2yrs Buffalo warranty.

  • No on 25/11/2013 - 16:55

    Anyone in Perth received there's yet?

  • PeeDee on 02/12/2013 - 22:29
