    Hmmm… You'd think the blurb would be updated to recognise that this is the 1Tb version rather than the 500Gb model. Or maybe only half the drive is usable???

  • bargrin on 02/10/2008 - 12:10

    I think with Segate they dont count 1GB = 1,000MB. I think its less so with 1TB you wont be getting exactly 1,000GB usuable space.

    Happned to me with my Segate 250GB drive, I could only get 220GB or somthing

    I think you will find that all Hard Disk manufacturers use the same system,
    not just Seagate.

  • ESEMCE on 02/10/2008 - 12:29

    Strictly speaking 1Gb=1024Mb and 1Tb=1024Gb..

    All storage manufacturers use 1Gb=1000Mb and no doubt susequently 1Tb=1000Gb..

    Lol slightly cheaper than Harris Tech? :P HOWEVER, shipping not factored in (free for HT? Can't remember that deal) — shipping to Burwood is $21.70. >.>

    I agree with lostincanberra about the blurb…1gig isn't 1000meg anyway, it's 1024mb, isn't it? No matter what, it's still substantially more than 500, so it's probably due to unupdated blurb. :P

    Edit: HT shipping isn't free in that previous deal~~ Got confused with something else. XD

    The HT deal is here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/6880
    HT is much cheaper with Free Shipping (admin fee applies) compared to the $20+ shipping cost from CSW, or simply pick-up in HT :P

  • elcheapo on 02/10/2008 - 13:44

    too bad that high shipping cost is a let down..

  • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ City Software on 02/10/2008 - 13:59

    Just to clarify a few things:
    1 - we incorrectly put the weight of the 1TB drive as 5kg as opposed to 1.72kg. This caused an excess charge on freight that has now been fixed. EG - shipping to Burwood is now $10. Alternatively it can be picked up at our Mt Waverley store.
    2 - HT.com.au do NOT have free shipping on this product. In fact according to their website its $10.29 to ship to Burwood.
    3 - We have changed the text from 500GB to 1000GB (yes i know it's technically 1024GB)

      Nice to see an official reply from the retailer! Good stuff!

    • Noslee on 02/10/2008 - 14:56

      HT ships this product to Burwood NSW (2134) for $6.52. Shipping to Burwood Vic and to Victoria in general is true for $10.29. However CSW ships to Sydney is $12.70, so I guess NSW buyers are better off with HT.

      1TB only gives you approx. 950GB as calculated by Windows

    Our check was for Burwood Vic… happy to price match the delivery if you contact our call centre on 1300 658 600 and mention OzBargain.

    I just got a HD so I'm not actually interested in another one, which's why I'm not voting on this one. XD Still, it IS nice to see the retailer commenting. :)

    And yeah, I just plonked in some random postal code in Sydney. :)
