Went to DSE today and spotted these 2TB externals for $99 and after missing out on the 2TB WD My Book Essential at JB Hi-Fi for $114 I thought I'd grab one of these then post the deal on ozbargain.

I know there are some online stores that list this HDD for $99 but obviously you'll end up paying a bit extra for shipping so that's why I decided to post this as a deal. DSE Online also has free delivery on the item.

    Might be advisable to put USB 2 in the Title

      you might as well ask him/her to put the entire specs in the title

          i've made 2 post, you've made 0. your point is?

          it takes 1 click to find out its usb 2.0, not every little detail needs to be in the title

          hmmm, which would benefit the community more I wonder….

          a member of only 6 months who has posted two deals…..
          or a member who has been leeching for over two years…..

          difficult one….

      Ahh… OW was the one place I forgot to look before posting the deal though I can see two differences between the items already.

      DSE has 3 year manufacturers warranty, OW has 2.

      The item at DSE is an 'Expansion' External Drive. OW doesn't mention 'expansion' on the item you linked to so the models may be different? (as they've referred to this one as an expansion.)

      • issh on 09/07/2011 - 03:01

        (as they've referred to this one as an expansion.)

        yes very true

        Of course you can add as many vertical columns as you wish by using the same pattern and the same goes for horizontal rows.

    This is USB 2.0 The WD one at JB is USB 3.0 for $114. I would rather pay an extra $15 and get the latter.

      agree! $99 for a 2tb usb2 is no news.

      Tell me when its usb3 at this price.

    • delfredo on 09/07/2011 - 10:06

      Normal price.

        True, price has been around $99 for ages…But, for those living in the country and remote places… free delivery is a blessing… Imagine driving 2hr to the nearest HN… and back…

          Agree. Not a bargain for me, hence I voted accordingly. Others can vote for themselves based on individual circumstances.

          If a deal doesn't suit you….. just ignore it….. your neg will help remove the deal from view of those who it does suit.

          Comment by all means, but just vote neutral if you're basing your vote on your own personal circumstances

  • jerum3030 on 09/07/2011 - 10:52

    It's not USB powered though eh?

    • ozb-442 on 09/07/2011 - 11:05

      It uses USB, but also needs an external power source. You're looking for a portable hard drive if you want it to be USB powererd

    Might not be the best price around, but it's $99 DELIVERED. Not everyone lives 5 min away from dearest OW or HN. +1 from me.

    Not a Bargain - has been at this price for ages plus if you bought something else to take it over $100 you get the Free shipping anyways

    • Hirokuro on 09/07/2011 - 21:14

      You should definitely read the comments before commenting:

    reported…

    • Ace on 09/07/2011 - 19:17

      Quote from that deal:

      Just purchased this drive Seagate 2TB 3.5" HD for $99.00. Was in store at $109 and I referred them to the website and got this for $99 as advertised.

      Meaning it's only just recently dropped down in price in-store…

      And just for the record I did search to see if the deal had been posted previously and I must've overlooked that one because I didn't see it when I first searched before posting the deal.

      Nonetheless, you previously had to pay shipping on the item but now you don't as it's listed as a 'hot deal' on the site.

      • andy19363 on 09/07/2011 - 19:47

        I guess you're right…. I reported a while ago :)

    • Todger on 09/07/2011 - 19:35

      Wouldn't bother .. the Mods have been thru the thread already - and revoked my -ve - even though there was the same HDD with same code # cheaper elsewhere

      Seems that formatting and items that are not bargains but have shipping is worth voting for instead of lower prices

      • andy19363 on 09/07/2011 - 19:46

        mods don't revoke negs…..
        if your comment gets enough negs, it is automagically revoked

        • Todger on 09/07/2011 - 19:49

          Ok thanks gulp :/

        • Todger on 09/07/2011 - 21:08

          But are you sure Mods don't remove Negs if they don't meet the guideline for negative voting!?

        • issh on 09/07/2011 - 21:19

          But are you sure Mods don't remove Negs if they don't meet the guideline for negative voting!?

          Wow, I can't believe the amount of rudeness here on OzBargain. Todger was just saying it'll be good to put 'USB 2.0' in the title and that is enough for some childish, verbal bashing? Unbelievable.

  • MrMaxwell on 09/07/2011 - 23:04

    I hate external powered HDDs…after using powered USB I'll never go back.

  • redvaldez on 09/07/2011 - 23:14
    +5

    The majority of user reviews of this HDD are negative, citing that the drive is quite unreliable (eg 1.5/5 out of 11 reviews on Cnet).

    I urgently had to purchase an external HDD today (two of my internal drives are dying) and was originally looking at this 2TB 'Expansion' drive. Instead, I opted for a Seagate Goflex Desk instead (2TB $129 at DSE). Certainly not a bargain, but I wasn't going to put a price on 1TB+ of data…

    • mutantx on 11/07/2011 - 10:51

      True. I have this same model purchased from Australia Post .. seemed liked good value for a cross-the-counter purchase .. i get home and unwrap and discover it has the amazing throughput of 15Mb/sec.
      Haha.
      After reading the mountain of complaints on the Manufacturer site about this product, i just wish i had done a little bit of research beforehand. Avoid.

      • Agret on 14/07/2011 - 11:28

        Do you know if that 15Mb/sec is a limit of the enclosure or the drive?

  • bbyboy on 10/07/2011 - 02:15

    @pushniacki i was merely trying to say usb 2.0 is standard. if its usb 3.0, yes put that in the title but if the title doesnt state the interface, you would expect it to be 2.0 unless its usb 1.0 but that wouldnt even be considered a bargain
