Harris Technology's price-matching to Officeworks for the same 1TB drive now (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/13772). Some people in here might have an account with HT and get some special discount deals going on, so you can take advantage of that now. I personally think HT's a better place to go to than Officeworks. At least they know what they're talking about most of the time…too bad they're not $1 lower, otherwise we can get Officeworks to price-match it and get a further 5% off! :)
Can't you order them in from another stores? I could usually get them to do that if they have stocks in other stores.
It's a good price, but I've heard many bad things about 1TB Lacie external hard drives, mostly that they won't last over a year. Just a warning, though you might get a good one.
My Lacie 500GB External had some issues; fortunately, it was still within the warranty period.
The the drive I got with mine was a Hitachi and not the Seagate most people have reported
Office works in S.A must have had about 50 of these in stock last week at the store on Anzac highway. They had pallets of them.
BTW, HT and OW are still owned by the same company. HT was set up to cater for the professional market. Furthermore, they're also scanning Flybuys. So I do wonder what the purpose of them price matching actually was.
Been to 2 OW and 2 HT, all ran out of stock already …
