MOD EDIT Was posted at $79 now $89 as mentioned by netplus rep below
By far the cheapest 1.5TB HDD going around.
Details : WD Caviar Green SATA Hard Drives 1.5 TB, SATA 3 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache
Cool, quiet, eco-friendly.
WD Caviar Green drives use less power and support quieter, cooler-running desktop PCs and external storage devices.
Model: WD15EARS
Shipping if required is charged at $5 for Perth metro area, $12 for West Australia Country and $19 Australia Wide, regardless of order size. We reserve the right to refuse / change price for very large orders. Or you can pick up your purchace from our store in Osborne Park.
Better to buy locally if you're in the eastern states.
Awesome price , pity about the 19 shipping
This had been on special for a few days now, but had not been picked up by OzBargain until now. It is now sold out and back up to $89
bummer

I just added 2 of them for $79ea to my cart. By the time I went to the checkout the price gone up to $89. I think they changed the price after seeing it posted in ozbargain.
That sounds very dodgy !!! Boo to Netplus…
Let's be clear :-
This was mentioned in the 2TB thread a few days ago & it's been showing as the best price on staticice, though has not had it's own thread. I bought a couple at the weekend.
Really nothing at all dodgy from Netplus - great pricing in fact. And still is.
$89 now. $99 at MSY. $89 at umart.com.au. I will buy locally @ umart if I need a HDD. It's not worth the hassle of returning for warranty via post.
same i will buy locally @ netplus for $89, not worth the hassle for this deal
Really? I'm looking at the MSY catalog right now and the only 1.5TB WD 3.5" internal hdd they have listed is $89.
Think I'll buy from my local MSY.
FWIW, I usually send my HDD warranty claims straight back to the manufacturers. They usually have a freepost box address to send them to, saves on shipping & turnaround is usually between a week & a fortnight!
Unless it's pretty much DOA, you're not gonna get any faster service going thru the retailer! ;)
The Samsung 1.5TB has been $89 for well over a month from MSY and other stores like PCCG.
And now I just go check MSY's pricelist just then and its down to $79.
Not saying this is not a bargain, since this particular drive hasn't been this low until now, but to claim its "By far the cheapest 1.5TB HDD going around." is to me misleading.
It's equal lowest at best and taken a while to reach the price of the Samsung.
Ah, I was looking at an old MSY price list. The WD 1.5TB is $89 at MSY as well. The Samsung looks the best deal at the moment @ $79 everyday price.
It was $79 when I ordered. I got 3, 2 at $79 and 1 at $89, so it was by far the cheapest WD 1.5TB at that time.
The question is whether you want Samsung or WD.
the $103 WD20EARS from budget PC last weekend was a good deal :p
yer i agree, $113 posted for a 2tb is awesome.
any chance of upping a wd20ears special for that price or similar?
ill buy 4 straight up and a 750gb wd
Your not the only one :) i think if it came to that price there would be easily 1000 moved within the hour
Take notice who can give us Ozbargainers this deal! 2tb wd20ears under $113.00 posted
yer i agree, whoever ups that sorta deal with plenty of stock would become legendary!
come on guys, step up!
even just the same $113 deal would be awesome!
$139 + postage is the lowest online atm
netplus sux
this is an invalid reason. need a proper explanation
postage sux
max postage should be $10 and in most cases it is less than that.
lmao what a bunch of f***ing whingers because they're in WA. Of course shipping to other states is going to be expensive. I don't complain that PCCaseGear charge a large amount to ship to WA. And they don't cap their shipping either. $19 australia wide regardless of how much you buy is a pretty good deal.
Bought 3x of these last week @ $92 each. Thought it was still good at that price :P
Officeworks will match Netplus, including postage, so that's $197 for two drives. Not the best price around but decent if you don't live in a major city area and don't have access to bargain computer stores.
any idea how much postage is?
