When harvey norman has better deals, its not a bargain:
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/36904
2TB for $99.
Also going rate for a 1TB external looks to be about $70

To be fair, this is the MyBook Elite with it's "Smart Display", which accounts for the extra cost.
Personally I think that an LED on the front that tells you how full the thing is is fairly pointless, but hey, it's an extra feature some might consider worth while.
That said, this is all of $3.50 cheaper than at ARC.
This offer has now expired - searching for similar offers in 3.. 2.. 1.. now
Those 2TB Samsungs are up to $129 now fyi.
Is this one of the models that's impossible to partition cleanly?
Not a bargain!
Managed to pick up a 2TB Iomega external 3.5" at Harris Tech (Osborne Park) last week for $98.
If this was a 2.5" HDD it would be a reasonable deal.
Come on PLE, you're my local store and I buy from you regularly but you really need to have an exceptional deal to generate any additional business from this site.
not a bargain.
altomic - you are quick with the negative votes. We use them a little differently here. Please read the negative voting guidelines here
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines
We require a comment for a negative vote, hoping that this will mean rather than just putting in a few words that tell us you dont like the deal, you know we know that already from your vote, but tell us why. That way we get some of your wisdom. Eg if its cheaper elsewhere and where. Its not a good drive, with some explanation etc
Thank you
sorry mod,
it's not a bargain as there are far better deals for similar items else where.
Umart has Seagate External Desktop 1TB Hard Drive for $69.00
Also ditto to Hellbounds HN 2TB $99 deal
That helps - thanks for the detail
Not a deal in my opinion as a I just bought a Verbatim 3.5" USB3.0 2 days ago for $10 cheaper including delivery.
And from where would that be?
http://www.staples.com.au/filing-and-storage/digital-data-st…
From staples, the world's largest retailer of office supplies. Recently expanded to aus, but delivery to nsw/act only atm.
what hard drive does it use BTW?
can't seem to find any reviews
Not a deal, I bought one for $25 though it was pickup.
Well for a WD MyBook Elite, it is about as low as any other competitor would go: http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=western+dig…
BUT (and this will apply to a majority of consumers), if all you're looking for a 1TB, USB 2.0, bare bones external HDD with no added crapware then you are getting ripped off: http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=external+1t…
Is this instore price or is it delivered for $89? If it not for $89 delivered please include the delivery cost.
