    damn u just beat me lol
    lucky i got into the practice of re-checking new deals right before i submit…

    • wisc on 20/07/2010 - 12:12

      LOL, i did the same thing, can never be too sure with these ones that change at mid day.. bit of a cheat… but still good deals for those who cant be bothered checking each site each day…or going to dealsdump.

      Yeah, Verbatim/Iomega are way better, well worth the 2-300% price premium ;)

    Looks like USB powered but probably does not support 64 bit OS?

      does any information tell that this drive it's not support 64bit OS?

      • Az on 20/07/2010 - 12:29

        There is some reference to 64 bit OS below, which is not clear to me, that is why I am asking:

        • minniewu on 20/07/2010 - 12:39

          the spec say it compatible with Mac OSX. which mean it support 64 bit OS. cause all the Mac OSX are 64Bit. That is what i think.

          • alie on 20/07/2010 - 19:22

            @minniewu: that's not true minnie. not all mac OS X are 64 bit

          It says on that site : "Bundle S/W does not support in 64 bit Operator System."

          Software only, like anyone is going to install it!

            @hippocrit: Oh ~~~~

            Now i get it, the Bundle software does not support in 64bit OS.

            That is the software not support only

              @minniewu: Haha! you seem to translate your native language to english — word for word.

              Edit: I would have taken someone saying that to me in a lighthearted way but, I fully understand, not everyone can. I was familiar with a phrase called "trigger happy" but now learnt what "click happy" means.

    • wisc on 20/07/2010 - 12:30

      usually it just installs as a mass storage device, so fairly simple… id risk it though if i didn't have a USB/esata docking station already.

  • jakentta on 20/07/2010 - 12:29

    Aldi in Shepparton has (or at least had last Friday) a Medion Brand 2.5" 500GB drive reduced to $69. So you may want to check your local Aldi before ordering this one.

    • wisc on 20/07/2010 - 12:32

      different brand though, wonder what hdd they use. (samsung, wd, hatachi, seagate) havent heard of medion making there own drives…

      • Hirokuro on 20/07/2010 - 19:06

        The Medion 2.5" external hard drive contains a Seagate Drive within.

    • syekotk on 20/07/2010 - 12:32
      +4

      really? I would much rather this over Medion….esp for an extra few $$ (less than $5 in most cases)

      Only advantage I see is Aldi having an easier returns process

      • jakentta on 20/07/2010 - 12:46

        Well, only difference in this deal is that they tell which manufacturer's drive is inside. I am pretty sure Aldi's one also has a drive from one of the big manufacturers. And yeah, if you only need a drive temporarily, you can always take it back within 60 days =)

        • ZaFrOoNaLdO on 20/07/2010 - 13:14

          is there any other shops like HN/jb hifi/officeworks etc that does the same thing? I mean the return part. I'm thinking of reformatting my laptop but I dont have a big external HD. So your idea will be useful to me! :)

    • trunks on 20/07/2010 - 12:54

      yeh same, bought two of the Medion ones at my local Aldi for $69 about a month ago, although I think it depends on the Aldi because I went to another one about a week ago and they still had them for the original $99. Mine have a Seagate ST950032 5AS inside.

  • edgar28 on 20/07/2010 - 12:55

    Can only buy 1…. WA postage 9.30…. Should make it 3 max :p
    Is it ide or sata?

    • g12345567 on 20/07/2010 - 13:56
      +2

      Should contain Sata drive. Although you'd have to connect to windows to check model number or open the case and void warranty to find out. As there has been a few external drives in the past that were neither IDE or SATA. That only came with the USB port already connected to the drive (can't remember which ones). So they were useless for using in other computers.

  • Bappy on 20/07/2010 - 13:02

    Hi minniewu

    Is there a way I can purchase this along with two previous offers from pricesengine?

    I wanna buy the 4GB DDR3 RAM plus the i3 processor
    These products are listed as past deal in your site, but not available for purchase
    So just wondering if there is any arrangement to purchase the past deals (if there is stock and meets your policy)

    Cheers

    • minniewu on 20/07/2010 - 13:17

      The answer from our sales team is, But I will suggest you can try our past deal page.

      As i know sometime they will forget to turn off the page. Which mean you are able to buy it if you are lucky.

      Try it~~

      • Bappy on 20/07/2010 - 14:02

        Hi minniewu

        I tried (to purchae from previous deal) - but no luck
        I have emailed [email protected] couple of days ago but no response yet
        Is there any email address for your sales team?
        Cheers

  • dolita on 20/07/2010 - 13:11

    How is the quality compared to Western Digital?
    Is it 'just alright' or 'cheap product, you get what you pay for' kind of thing?

    I don't mind 'just alright' but don't want to buy 'cheap throwaway' HD, better save up for better quality ones..

    • wisc on 20/07/2010 - 13:22

      depends what you read… each has there own flavor… sammies are a decent drive, but they did have 3.5"s with the tick of death.. (google it) (seagates have been bricked too,)

      though havent heard anything about the 2.5s

      put it this way, when the 2TB drives come down, ill be considering getting 4 sammies, so i have faith in them.

    • manbearpig on 20/07/2010 - 14:06

      The difference in price isn't that different when including the postage cost. You can always get an $80 Western Digital from here

      http://cgi.ebay.com/WD-2-5-500GB-SATA-II-Laptop-Hard-Disk-Dr…

      And just get a cheap enclosure for around $4.50

      http://cgi.ebay.com/2-5-USB-2-0-SATA-HDD-Hard-Disk-Drive-Enc…

      All up it's about $10 more but for a Western Digital if you prefer them.

  • Thiefsie on 20/07/2010 - 13:22

    I like these cases, they hide scratches well.

    I can confirm the software doesn't work in 64bit windows but that's no huge loss. Just a Samsung 'secret' drive thing that is semi useful. I was however caught out with it as I had some files from work on there to take home, and of course I couldn't open them on my 64bit OS. D'oh!

    Good deal. I'd bite if I already hadn't bought too much stuff in the last week.

  • ThePump on 20/07/2010 - 13:35

    Will these work with Windows 7 64bit? I dont care about the software.

    • BoltThrower on 20/07/2010 - 13:45

      I got Win7 64. If it doesn't work I'll gift it! I don't care about the software which should be the only prob.

      • minniewu on 20/07/2010 - 13:50

        It's works I think if this can work with Mac OSX. Mac OSX it's 64bit as well.

        • ThePump on 20/07/2010 - 14:10

          Will the drive definately work with a 64bit OS?

      I don't think you can do that with our system online, you have to email to our customer service.

        can you buy 2 items from pricesengine?
