Hey guys, came across this awesome deal for $35. It says there it's a "Microsoft Promo" but you don't have to buy the item with anything else, you can buy it just by itself. The reason it's so cheap is because it's an EOL (End of Line). But I reckon it's a good deal nonetheless!

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to add it's around $15 for postage, so it still works out cheaper than going into MSY/Umart. Please note that this is a 1TB Internal HDD (7200rpm 32MB Cache).

      I owned a Spinpoint once, for 1mth before it failed.
      I don't know why…

  • Mikinoz on 10/03/2011 - 14:33

    Please add what gb this drive is ie 500gb

    • montorola on 10/03/2011 - 14:35

      Fixed, thanks for letting me know guys!

      • Mikinoz on 10/03/2011 - 14:39

        No worries, nice find :)

  • dragon7 on 10/03/2011 - 14:36

    very good find, postage is ~ $14 oz wide i think, making it less than $50 for a brand new 1TB HDD.

  • llama on 10/03/2011 - 14:36

    Post for one is $13.15 to Sydney 2000 and Melbourne 3000

    Seems to be a flat rate for 2, then increases slightly $17.55 for 5 and $24.15 for 10

    NOTE: Other locations are more expensive - I ONLY checked Postcodes 2000 and 3000

  • jackwangxp on 10/03/2011 - 14:37

    "Manafacturer: Microsoft" ???
    And warranty? 1y or 3y?

    And seems the website has not been putting much of effort in it.

    • montorola on 10/03/2011 - 14:41

      Yeah I agree with you, their description is pretty lame, I guess it's written to attract those indexing bots like Google Adwords.
      However, their terms and conditions state that all drives come with manufacturers warranty. I don't know how long samsung gives warranty, but I'd risk a year for $50.

  • life is a little cr… on 10/03/2011 - 14:40

    Hmm warranty info would be good can anyone confirm wether its 1 or 3yrs?

  • acidburn02 on 10/03/2011 - 14:42

    I can't create an account or purchase it - is anyone else having trouble with the site?

  • vid_ghost on 10/03/2011 - 14:45

    Wow thats an awesome price for 500Gb's… to think hard drives would be this cheap one day! ( now ).. i still remember buying my very first hard drive it was a 6GB Seagate that cost me $200 bux… and it was a massive upgrading from the 800Mb hard drive i was using befor it.

    • cyssero on 10/03/2011 - 14:49

      This is a 1TB drive with 2x500GB platters. One of the fastest 7200RPM 1TB drives around. I own one and highly recommend it.

      • montorola on 10/03/2011 - 15:00

        How long does it take to load Windows? lol

          Do yourself a favor and go buy an SSD

    • Black Hole on 10/03/2011 - 15:12

      I used to paid $99 for a box of 10 1.44 floppy disc at myer and $700 for a floppy disc drive let alone HDD. Add the inflation in and $99 is like $350 today's money.

      • bargainhunter on 10/03/2011 - 15:54

        About what year may I ask?

        • Black Hole on 10/03/2011 - 15:56

          1984 - actually it may be for the 720kb disc and not the 1.44 mb format.

        • victor muscles on 10/03/2011 - 16:01

          i can recall buying boxes of 10x 720Kb 3.5" Disks from Verbatim $72.00 wholesale - that was about 1987 - With the comment about 1984 - i didnt realise that 3.5" were out then As they came out with the IBM PS/2 which was about 1986.

      • Gaz1 on 10/03/2011 - 16:38

        I still have a box of brand new Verbatim 8" floppies from some time before that….
        Probably not much use to anyone now, but hopefully they will become collectable at some stage.

      • shmahoo on 10/03/2011 - 17:51

        add in Zimbabwe's or Brazil's inflation and that one box of floppies would buy you a house now

  • heathwithnoteeth on 10/03/2011 - 14:47

    thanks, just bought one. same postage rate for vic and sa for reference.

    cheers

  • life is a little cr… on 10/03/2011 - 14:55

    looks like it could be 3yrs from a quick google…

  • overlook on 10/03/2011 - 15:06

    cant see it at all~~

  • BlinkyBill on 10/03/2011 - 15:07

    Link is now dead

  • jesseboy89 on 10/03/2011 - 15:12

    It was $16 postage to the ACT. Not gonna happen… wouldn't cost more than $8-9 to ship.

  • [Deactivated] on 10/03/2011 - 15:13

    This deal has been OzBargained. Boo!

    • overlook on 10/03/2011 - 15:14

      or msy-ed/umart-ed:P LOOL

  • overlook on 10/03/2011 - 15:13

    either ozbargained or price error…hopefully not latter then at least we have some happy ones here:P

    • issh on 10/03/2011 - 15:21

      i reckon its ozb'd
      most likely though

  • stumo on 10/03/2011 - 15:18

    Totally OZBargained, I had 6 in my cart before I chickened out. Imma wait for a good deal on some 2TB drives. This deal was good, but not that good for my application.

    Remember its only a bargain if you actually need it.

  • montorola on 10/03/2011 - 15:27

    Haha yeah it's totally been ozbargained guys. One of the reps called me up to confirm my address and told me they had a sudden influx of orders coming through haha…I'm sure we all know from where ;)

  • victor muscles on 10/03/2011 - 15:48

    If the drive is the HD-103SJ- was that the samsung model that had firmware issues with the newer SATA specs ? (drives not being recognised on bootup ?

  • tazmaniak on 10/03/2011 - 15:49

    Dammit! Hate it when things get ozbargained before I get a chance!
    Once I posted a deal and it got ozbargained before I could buy one myself, haha.

    Still, I probably don't need any more 1tb F3's, just wanted more cause their awesome in Raid 0.
    Need a bargain on some 7200rpm 2TB's. Or maybe an SSD.

  • Pizza The Hut on 10/03/2011 - 15:54

    i reckon we could make our own urbin dictionar ary site. scotty?

  • outlander on 10/03/2011 - 16:01

    Damn. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone selling on ebay for $50+ in a few days.

  • esq on 10/03/2011 - 16:30

    Amazing deal that I seem to have missed on my late lunch break. :(

  • Bigsta on 10/03/2011 - 16:51

    yeah no more its $66 now anyone know any good 2 TB deals around right now?

  • djpro on 10/03/2011 - 21:21

    Luckily I picked up two today before they sold out :) (actually found a thread on whirlpool before this popped up on OZbargain)

    I emailed the guys there just to confirm and they said its being processed & shipping tomorrow!

  • salem on 11/03/2011 - 14:09

    Last time I bought a bunch of HDDs that were a bargain when I didn't need them, really, it took me 2 months to get around to putting them in my computer, and by then HDD prices had fallen so much the price wasn't a bargain any more….

    lesson is: never buy anything ever.

  • life is a little cr… on 11/03/2011 - 17:26

    Ordered yesterday received today in Melb…. very impressed

    Ordered yesterday aswell and found this on my doorstep. I thought with the $15 postage they'd send through regular Australia Post. Turns out they used Startrack Express. First time buying off OTA, must say I'm very impressed.

  • djpro on 14/03/2011 - 19:27

    Just got mine today (ordered on Thursday arvo @ 35$ a pop) arrived by startrack express. Now I just have to install it after getting my new PSU :)
