I bought mine almost a year ago for $79 from DSE.
What's inside?
chocolate
gwyneth paltrow's head
I don't get it. Could someone care to elaborate?
@silverrat23: It's a reference to the movie "Seven" - I quite like this youtube video though.. Unboxing Gwyneth Paltrow's Head - a little predictable and lame, but still gold.
I liked that film but I saw it so long ago that I have forgotten most of it.
7200 RPM Seagate drive.
This is from last week's deal, and should be the same: http://i.imgur.com/j1hZ0nP.png

the last time i bought one they were down into the $6x i think which was maybe a year ago? but they havnt been into the $7x's for quite a while now.
for $79 delivered if you need them its the best deal for quite some time now.
It was a bit cheaper last week. Still good for this price.
Yes, back in 2012 got a couple of 2TB's from Officeworks for $65, USB2.0 back then. Still spinning away happily.
These will go well with the Wii U
If only DS sold WD Drives
If only no one sold Seagtes.
I bought WD drives in the last deal (Mybook live duo 8TB) and got cancelled. I will get these drives instead.
I bought this for $74 delivered a week ago with the "weekend25" deal. Still hasn't arrived though.
I bought the same deal. Got it on 21/Aug Thursday(Sydney). You can check your email fro tracking no. They're using startrack
Looks like it sitting at the post office waiting to be picked up by me.
Yeah same I got the $74 deal
Seems to have a lot of bad reviews.
I bought one during the Boxing Day sales last year (2013) and it failed on me in July 14. Still under warranty though i just need to get around claiming the warranty.
Bought one with $74 delivered last week
Got these for $54. But $79 is still ok in current market.
For anyone interested in larger (5TB) drives for $215AUD (using amazon conversion rates) you can get the Seagate Expansion USB 3.0 5TB Desktop External Hard Drive (STBV5000100) delivered from Amazon.
I purchased 4 of them for my NAS, the internal drive is the - ST5000DM000
got mine a few months back from big W for 57 bux, was a pre big sale then. could get 1tb portable for like 40bux or something..
there hasnt been much movement in price on these for a long time
i remember breaking open these years ago for the microservers and it was still $79
