      • johnmelb on 08/10/2019 - 14:29

        I would also suggest calling.
        I went in-store and asked if they could check nearby stock availability and the Big W employee said "You can check that on your phone mate."
        I asked a second time and he said: "It's a clearance item, there won't be much stock, we don't have any clearance items here." (and that was in the "Tech" section of BigW)

    Online said No Stock so definitely worth checking with the stores directly.

    Thanks OP. Been looking to get a 4tb drive for a while. Managed to get a couple from Top Ryde. They had 5 remaining when I left(red and blue only). A guy was on the phone asking about them whilst I was there.

    • hamerix on 08/10/2019 - 12:37

      LOL, I was on the phone waiting to talk to them but was not successful, so hung up.

  • Sr11 on 08/10/2019 - 12:12

    I just tried Brisbane cdb, queen street. The guys scanned it at $189. Checked the webaite on his pc, shows $189. Refuses to look at the ozb link. Don't want to sell them at $100.

    • RogueWolf on 08/10/2019 - 12:15

      Would ask to talk to manager, its clearly on the website for $100

      Was he scanning the correct product? It should have scanned @$199 if it was still showing the old price.

      • Sr11 on 08/10/2019 - 13:55

        Yeah, it was the correct product.
        The issue is the items is not searchable of their website.
        They don't trusting the link I'm showing them on my phone.

    • firangi on 08/10/2019 - 13:45

      Regular website has it, just type 4tb in big w website, will show black one in clearance.

      • Sr11 on 08/10/2019 - 13:57

        I did that. I can't find it. It doesnt show. Only 1tb comes up.

    Thanks Op purchased. These drives are OLD stock 4tb, the new have a slight difference and hence NO price match. Tried Officeworks but they declined, managed to find the old stock 4TB plus at JBhifi and they price matched. I needed 4x for RAID so got 3@BigW, 1 @JBhifi. Great price!

    • Burnsy on 08/10/2019 - 14:43

      That's a cheap RAID! 12TB with RAID5?
      Hope the 5400RPM is OK.

      • Ulysses31 on 08/10/2019 - 16:49
        +2

        RPM ≠ MB/s

        • Burnsy on 09/10/2019 - 12:40

          While I totally agree, the slower drives do read slightly slower on average.
          I was more concerned about non sequential speeds. Reading should be a breeze with 3 drives striped, but writing is usually not much faster when in RAID5.
          Perfect for a NAS though! (I'm actually quite jealous of how cheap this person got their storage!)

  • Ulysses31 on 08/10/2019 - 15:02
    +2

    Just had a polite argument with a dinosaur at JB HiFi, who refused to price match.

    Short Version:
    Manager ignored the OzB supplied link, stating its a fact they're different, due to title. Said the product description doesn't matter. When he searches, he finds $189 for the same product.

    • MMM on 08/10/2019 - 16:44
      +1

      I had the same at first with JBhifi but found an old 4tb on their shelf, then he matched the price. The new Seagate has badge at the top and just a dot for access light. The old 4TB has the Seagate badge at the bottom as pictured here and the access light is a slash rather than a dot. Very slight appearance difference.

    Both are Seagate 4TB ($99 vs $100), however the one in the link is the large desktop version (3.5"), and this one is a portable version (2.5")…

    Any idea? I have a workstation desktop at home so either one is fine, but if someone could help me decide then thank you.

      The 3.5 inch desktop version is much faster and much stable if you are planning to shuck and use in computers

    • kiitos on 10/10/2019 - 11:46

      Can the desktop ones be left on and permanently connected to a router for use anytime as a NAS? Or would it go into some sort of sleep mode or something?

    Anyone know if this deal is still live? been into my local store yesterday and it only showed them as $189 staff didn't know anything about any clearance stock though their system didn't even show any stock had been priced for $100

    If so anyone have a keycode i can give to staff to look up

    • Mintchip on 11/10/2019 - 09:30

      It looks like it’s been removed from the site, but I know someone was able to grab one at Rouse Hill yesterday same as CVonC above. I’d guess it just depends on if any places have stock left and most are out by now.

      • Cyclone on 11/10/2019 - 15:20

        thanks, ended up going back today got a 2tb one which was $90 on clearance which is a shame would have rather found a 4tb but I don't have time to do all that searching different stores

        • CVonC on 11/10/2019 - 21:21

          2tb one which was $90 on clearance

          Just because it was on clearance doesn't automatically make it a good deal. $90 is usually more than what you'd have to be for a 2TB as they regularly go on sale. You shouldn't expect to pay more than $80. Heck a 3TB one is $99 everyday @ Officeworks and is better in value. Refund that purchase imo.

        • Explorer-AUS on 11/10/2019 - 21:26

          Not sure where you're located but these are the sku codes:

          524699 - Black
          524700 - Blue
          524701 - Red

          If you are in Victoria then these stores have them

          Broadmeadows - 1x 524701 Red, 1x 524700 Blue
          Epping - 1x 524699 Black , 1x 524700 Blue
          QV - 2x 524699 Black
          Altona Meadows - 2x 524701 Red, 2x 524700 Blue

          I know Epping & Broadmeadows are correct as of 9pm 11-10-19 but QV & Altona Meadows You will need to either drop by or call up beforehand and check as stock count maybe out.

    There is still some Blue Seagate 4TB for $105 each at Officeworks in South Yarra as of 11/10. Just make sure you're specifically asking for the Seagate Backup Plus 4TB on Clearance. The new model is there as well at full price.

  • jeeg on 12/10/2019 - 21:53

    I read all the comments here. Still dont know how you guys can get this for $100 given the website is stating the cost is $149? What do i need to do to get this $100 price?

    • Explorer-AUS on 12/10/2019 - 22:42
      +1

      I don't know why you keep looking online or what link you are looking at? As far as I know this is a nationwide clearance Item which has been taken off their website already.

      If you read my comment above then you will see that I have listed the sku/product codes.

      524699 - Black
      524700 - Blue
      524701 - Red

      If you are still looking for one then call up your local store or go into the store and quote those codes and they will be able to tell you who might have stock in your local area. If your local store has it then they will find it for you and you can purchase it there.

              @AussieDaddy: Nah i had to be a pita to get him out the back and hunt them down. He reckons they were the last black ones at Marion and no blue or red. Guy at Hallet Cove told me Marion should have 2 or 3 blue though.
