    Granted, their site DOES say "Pickup available"…

  • blablabla23 on 26/06/2012 - 13:19

    better off buying from shoppingsquare for $37.94 ($27.95+$9.99 shipping)

    • zealmax on 26/06/2012 - 13:28

      If you live in the Hills district, then better to buy it here for $25.

  • zealmax on 26/06/2012 - 13:24

    I didn't think about shipping. Good deal if you live locally.

  • Windows7forever on 26/06/2012 - 13:38

    I have absolutely no use for one of these but it is a good price for local pickup customers. Handy for netbook users.

  • el_cheapo on 26/06/2012 - 13:45

    Anyone know if you can open it up and remove the drive for use as an internal drive?

    i.e. it is a regular slim drive with standard slim SATA connections, or does it have soldered/proprietary connections?

      Slim drives have their own connector, you will need an adapter for the connection [data and power] and a mounting bracket/tray and new face-plate/door for your case as the dimensions don't fit nicely with 5"1/4bays. Generally not worth it due to those additional costs, especially considering this is a DVD burner and a PC one should be cheaper. I recently went the extra mile as I really wanted a slot-loading blu-ray drive on my HTPC.

      You could always just use the usb cable on the desktop.

      • el_cheapo on 26/06/2012 - 15:34

        Yeah, I want it as a replacement drive for my HTPC as my slim drive died. So the PC is designed to take a slim drive (i.e. I don't need a bracket) and I have the slim SATA connector (i.e. the adaptor you’re talking about) from my old drive.

        It’s just slim drives are expensive and I was hoping this was a cheap way to get one. I guess I will get it and take a gamble that inside the casing it is a standard slim drive.

  • ShipShapeRC on 26/06/2012 - 13:49

    I got my external writer from the uk, worked out cheaper at the time - I got the one above for $34.99. It's out of stock but they have another for less $34.49

    But if you pickup this one at $25, its much better.

    Neg because it can be found for a lower price inc postage almost anywhere and local pickup price is not cheaper than normal.

  • oz-dxer on 26/06/2012 - 14:30

      They're located in the US. I don't think they have free delivery to AU

      • the discombobulated… on 26/06/2012 - 14:58

        They do.

        Except they don't. Item wont ship outside the US. Wish I could take that -ve back. My apologies.

    • oz-dxer on 26/06/2012 - 15:25

      Oops sorry about that one, i never actually added it to my cart to test shipping to AU.
      Although i bought a heap of bits only yesterday from meritline without issue.
      Disregard my link above.

  • ozguy on 26/06/2012 - 15:21

    For $28 @ MSY (in Brisbane anyway) you can find product ID #5578 "Samsung External Slim Size DVD RW". Great price if not too far out of your way.
