I've been eying this drive for some time now and $169 is the cheapest price that I have ever seen for the 3TB model.
Officeworks is selling it for $248, could possibly price match and beat it by 5%
Deal includes free delivery - excludes Western Australia and Northern Territory.
To those who don't know about the My Book Live: (courtesy of Engadget)
The My Book Live includes most basic NAS functionality — such as the ability to operate as a media server, and provide access to local files over the internet — but forgoes features such as RAID and expandable storage to keep the price down. f you need the security of RAID, or want more granular configuration options, you'll want to look elsewhere. But if you just need to access your files from anywhere on your home network and the internet, don't have a router that will allow you to add NAS-like capabilities to any USB drive, and don't need more than 3TB of storage, the My Book Live is an affordable choice.
postage to 6000 is $13 ($17 insured).
would it still be worthwhile to get from officeworks for those who reside in WA?
JB Hifi has the drive for $199.
