Fast delivery from COTD.
Ordered the black one last Thur afternoon and received it this morning.Good to hear, but this isn't COTD :)
Unless COTD is now delivering very fast, my experience shows that COTD can take more than a week to deliver and process. I am not sure though with Shopping square.
Took about 3 weeks for my SDHC cards to ship with Shoppingsquare :(
Do people think it's a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500gb 5400rpm Drive inside?
That's the only 500gb WD notebook drive i can find…
I hope it is, because they are worth $120+ on their own. This is an absolute steal.
Shame it's the same one COTD had but this is $3.05+ more for postage.
Not as good as CoTD
would we be able to pick this up from apus?
Sorry, thought it was a COTD item.
Anyway, COTD had a better deal.
Paid only $99.95 including delivery.
If you see Rumbaar's post above the difference between this and COTD's is actually $3.05. But I suppose that $3 difference, together with being two weeks too late, translates to some 60 OzBargain votes…
We can be very fickle at times …
Go crazy at a free $2 scale … but scoff at still a great deal an only ~$3 more than the previous good deal …
For the price and WD HDD it's a great deal, and I'm sure it would come faster than COTD's did. I guess they have to get the cases, hard drives and put them together.
oh bugger! I added this toy to my cart, clicked on the check out button, it asked for registration so I did, and once that's completed both Black and White HDD shown as SOLD OUT…. excuses me but… BUGGER!!!! :(
I received my HDD and is not working. I have taken it to the supplier (ASTONE) they find out the case is not compatible with WD500GB HDD.
If any of you have the same problem then you better get refund or replacement of your HDD.
The supplier replace me with a Segate 500GB HDD.
having the exact same issue here. how long did it take you to get it replaced? Did you just contact the astone service centre?
nvm, went down there myself and all sorted now
