I see this deal today at msy website, think is 3.5" version instead of the 2.5", but they didn't have any other describtions. however still think is a good deal since just 500GB Hard disk will costs the same.

According to their website it's "Tudesday" only.. Is that the day after Modnday?
Nah mate, its the one before Weddnesday…
I can see that being how the guy would actually pronounce it, so maybe he's just being true to his accent?
And the day before Sudnday.
you mean the day before wednesday.
The 22" wide LCD monitor with digital photo frame and media player looks pretty good too at only $165: http://www.msy.com.au/aonedaymadness/Proview10122009.pdf
Plus there's a $56 external slim DVDRW and a $23 logitech wireless keyboard + mouse.
…might be worth posting seperately?
"The 22” wide LCD monitor with digital photo frame and media player"
does that mean all in one or buy 22 lcd digital photo frame and media player as bonus?All in one, but I realise it's not that great considering the 22" Asus from 9289 that we saw recently.
Hello feng, please put the date of the sale in the title (and in future titles). :)
would be good if its a 2.5 :)
Sweet, might pop into the ultimo store to pick one up.
good deal, im going on tuesday to pay advance for my comp neway. Might pick it while im there. :)
If it is costing $65 for a 3.5" 500GB External HDD then that's a $17 discount from their usual price - so on its on, yes it is a fair bargain.
However, a 1TB Seagate costing $125 would be cheaper than having 2 500GB Hard Drives as two of them amount to $130 whereas one 1TB will only cost $125.
On the other hand, one could opt for the more elegantly designed Lacie 3.5" 1TB for only $121 designed by Neil Poulton.
go with a packed lunch
I only need 500gb, i've currently got 320gb which is just enough atm. I will need more than 500gb in the future, but by then the prices will have dropped even more so it's cheaper to just get what i need now (6-12mths). I could probably sell my 320gb Mybook for $45.
I also want to upgrade my Topfield PVR which has it's original 120gb HD. It can only accept a 500gb drive as maximum.
But if i buy this external hard drive, will the warranty still apply if i take it out of the case?
Otherwise, i wonder what/where's the cheapest 500gb internal drive.any idea whether this is a portable external hard drive, or a larger desktop version?
thanks!It is highly unlikely that this is the portable external hard. If you take a look at the MSY price list, the 3.5" Desktop version runs for $82, whereas the 2.5" External version runs for over $100.
+1 for the new website… anything was an improvment on what they used to have haha
Called up MSY in Morningside Qld. Model number is ST305004EXM101
http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_ext_deskto…Cool bro, good that it's not an old model, the brown ones with the orange stripe.
Morningside is my closest store too. I wonder how much stock they have.
Picked up 2 from Morningside today. Thanks.
Can anyone tell me what model drive is inside? Or what the specs for it are? I need to know the power consumption of the drive itself.
should reflect that it's a tuesday 8/12/09 only price
