We have a few of the 3TB RED drives left over from the recent Synology promo. There is very little stock available of these for the next 3-4 weeks as the main distributor ran out during the promo so if you need them grab them.

We also have a deal on the Promise 4 Bay NAS

Any issues shoot as an email to [email protected]

UPDATE 1: Dropped prices to compete with pccasegear and umart.
UPDATE 2: Dropped prices again as we need to move these drives and there were other deals that were cheaper floating around.
UPDATE 3: Just got the new Synology price list. http://flingshot.com.au/products/synology-nas

    $205 at uMart.

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 31/08/2012 - 00:42

      Shipped?

      • PinzVidz on 31/08/2012 - 00:45

        Irrelevant in my case, I live in-between 2 of their stores. :)

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 31/08/2012 - 00:47

          It looks like the pickup price is $215.

        • lostn on 31/08/2012 - 00:53

          You can order online, and then pick up. Their online prices are cheaper than in store prices.

        • thefunkygibbon on 31/08/2012 - 00:54

          I'm in Perth and its $24 delivered. So that brings it to $229 for one but if I were to buy 3 it's still $24 delivered which brings them in at $213 each delivered. The only thing I would say though is that umart is preorder. I assume fling shot has stock?

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 31/08/2012 - 00:54

          OK that kind of makes no sense then for them to have two different prices…

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 31/08/2012 - 00:55

          Yes we have stock.

          OK that kind of makes no sense then for them to have two different prices…

          The reason is, people who order online just walk in, pick up and walk out. Order is picked already. They don't need to offer any customer service or answer any questions from you. You know what you're buying, and you're served very quickly. So you get a discount.

          People who come in to browse might require more assistance and will take longer to serve.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 31/08/2012 - 01:05

          Yeah I guess that is fair enough.

        • asa79 on 31/08/2012 - 08:04

          MSY is also $205

      • katsuya on 31/08/2012 - 09:49

        not that much of a deal, since I can just pick one up from umart for 5% cheaper and no extra wait/worry about DOA during shipping.

  • ragflan on 31/08/2012 - 01:05

    $209 at PC Case Gear. Buying 2 comes to $418. Shipping by courier is $13 bucks. That's only $431 shipped by courier or $433 by AUSPost Express Post. That's not even a special price on PC Case Gear.

    PC Case Gear Link: https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&…

    That's $19 dollars cheaper than your "promo" price, rep. And PCCG are competitive but they aren't exactly known for having the best prices either.

      That is a reasonable analysis, dropped the prices on the three options so we are now a few dollars cheaper on each after shipping. At least to Sydney, it may vary depending on where you are located.

        I'll upvote the deal for price matching the competition but the drives are unfortunately out of my price range. Thanks, rep.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 31/08/2012 - 01:50

          Thanks!

          Are you looking for just drives or a NAS as well?

        • ragflan on 31/08/2012 - 09:53

          Just drives. I have a 5bay Synology NAS with 3 bays filled. I want to get two 3TB drives for $300 or less. The Seagate Barracuda drives are almost there. $165 per drive. I'll wait till there's a sale. Thanks, rep!

  • lostn on 31/08/2012 - 01:21

    I noticed you've got 32GB Lexar USB 3.0 sticks for $20 on your site but without stock. Any idea on when these are coming back in? This price is cheaper than it was when you last posted the deal on OZB. Will it still be $20 when they return to stock?

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 31/08/2012 - 01:28

      We are waiting on more stock to come in, we dropped the price to 20 for a customer last night who was having an issue, it was just a one off thing. The price will be back up to $23 when they come in again.

    Good to see flingshot joining the competition.

    But ARC Computers have it for $205 pickup from their 5 shops in Sydney. MSY have it for $205 pickup at a few stores.

    Too bad flingshot is too far away from me for pickup. Good deal though if you want them shipped.
    Will pickuP mine for $205. Work close to one of their stores.

  • 51ngh on 31/08/2012 - 01:56

    Does anyone know if/when WD are releasing a 4TB version of Red?

    • Merlict on 31/08/2012 - 02:03

      4Tb drives seem to carry a pretty huge premium right now, the few that are available are really expensive per GB. Might be a while

      • asa79 on 31/08/2012 - 08:06

        I picked up the goflex for $269 so about $10 extra a TB

  • jaygee on 31/08/2012 - 02:02

    Is this better than the WD Black?

    • 51ngh on 31/08/2012 - 02:04

      Very subjective.
      In a NAS environment, most likely yes.
      Red is a built-for-NAS HDD

    • Zenskas on 31/08/2012 - 10:32
      +1

      For storage they are superior imo. Very quiet 5400rpm drives that are much faster than the green drives, maybe not as quick as the latest blacks but close and you wouldn't notice the difference in NAS usage. See the review here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1285-page1.html
      1tb is a bit average for speed but the 3tb is shown beating a 2tb black drive as well as a 7200rpm 2tb seagate drive in various tests.
      Those 7200rpm drives are a little older now but it's great to see 5400rpm drives at the same performance level as them!

      Oh as for the deal itself, seems to be cheaper at this newer deal: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/78748

    I honestly wouldn't call this any sort of deal if all fling are doing is 'matching' competitors. Saving $3.00 on shipping isn't a bargain.

    • RocketSwitch on 31/08/2012 - 09:13

      I agree, no point advertising. Ozbargain is for great deals not just matching existing prices. Come back when you have a real sale.

        Well we are now cheaper shipped than everyone, what would you consider a worthy price to post the deal?

        • fandibong on 31/08/2012 - 12:17

          Since you're biggest selling point is "Free Shipping". It would be worthy to match the lowest price available (ie, Shopping Square $199) and still offer free shipping.

          Unfortunately that is not going to happen…

          You have to look at the after shipping costs for a true comparison. The advantage to free shipping is that everyone pays the same amount, we have yet to work out a way of magically teleporting it around Australia at zero cost.

        • fandibong on 01/09/2012 - 10:41

          whatever… i love flingshot anyway… so bought

    Hi,
    $208. Now we are talking.
    Just received the Synology from previous deal.
    If I buy and pay for a 3TB Red NOW, will you ship it today?

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 31/08/2012 - 13:32

      Yes, we will get it shipped out this afternoon for you.

      You probably won't get it till Monday though.

      • 51ngh on 31/08/2012 - 13:56

        Thats fine .. Monday is OK
        ordering now.

    Can I ask why 4 drives ($835) cost more than 2 x 2 drives (2 x $410)?? By $15?

    • 51ngh on 31/08/2012 - 14:19

      I assume that REP only reduced the prices of the single and 2-pack. Maybe he didn't reduce price of the 4-pack.
      If you are looking to order a 4-pack, just send them an e-mail, or order the 2-pack twice !
