    can you price match at officeworks?

      If you can pickup or get this deal delivered cheaper elsewhere then take a printout of the competitors deal to OW and they will price match less 5%.

      • lostn on 15/09/2012 - 14:20

        If there's two competitors that price match and beat by 5%, can you price match the price match and then chain price match each other?

        • Trance N Dance on 15/09/2012 - 14:50

          Wouldn't be an advertised price, most price match policies state it has to be an advertised price.

      Newox - What? Walk into officeworks, go upto the counter and say, 'Excuse me but you guys have a 1TB WD HDD on sale at $98. Can you pricematch that?". Then come home and let me know what the reply was please. It should be entertaining. (Sorry Newox - Couldn't help myself but the item already is at Officeworks!)

      Unity1 - Good post thanks.

        People love exercising ze power of das downvoten here! On the comments, not so much the submissions.

          reverse psychology? ask for something, get opposite?

  • dy4me on 15/09/2012 - 10:03

    How thick is this thing? it doesnt look as compact as some of the other drives like the Toshiba Canvio Basic 1TB. any one know that dimensions?

    • johnno07 on 15/09/2012 - 10:21

      My GF has one and going from memory it's probably around 2cm thick.

    • tanksinatra on 15/09/2012 - 10:28

      dimensions (just measured): (LxWxH) 11.3cm x 7.8cm x 1.9cm
      Its about the height of two laptop drives.

  • tanksinatra on 15/09/2012 - 10:09

    This has been $99 for a few days now. I think they dropped their price after JBHIFI started selling it at $99.
    I picked up two yesterday - they are good drives. Very snappy. Am getting about 70MB/s.

    It's been $99 for a while now at jb. Saving of $1 is still a saving, but really if I wasn't tempted to buy at $99 I won't be tempted to buy at $98. Good quick pickup by OP thou, thanks.

    • quarrymaster on 15/09/2012 - 11:34

      $1 is better than $4.95.

      For Officeworks. ;)

    Wow held off on the 3tb Buffalo deal thinking there'd be more, I was wrong…need a 3tb Usb3 drive soon

      noob, that was 3.5" drive

    • ibfragalot on 15/09/2012 - 12:47

      Yeah I'm waiting on a 3tb usb3 3.5" deal also. $167ish is best price right now.

    • rev0 on 17/09/2012 - 01:49

      Same here, also waiting on a deal for a 3tb Usb3 drive. If you find anything, please share :)

  • williamyau on 15/09/2012 - 12:34

    hopefully JB see it and lower their price to 95

  • redcreek200 on 15/09/2012 - 12:37

    Shipping $25.95 to regional SE Qld

    Anyone knows if this fits in a PS3?

      No. The HDD's ports are not SATA. Someone dismantled it and found the USB ports on the HDD itself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suo9_8GweAY

      • lostn on 15/09/2012 - 14:23

        Most interesting.

        I wonder if Seagate won't do the same instead of making cases that get destroyed when opened.

      • brake on 23/09/2012 - 12:21

        He must be an oz bargainer, he used an everyday rewards card and a flybuys card to open that drive lol

  • ravzter on 15/09/2012 - 15:31

    Does this need AC supply ?

    Cheapest HD in th world!

  • smokenz on 15/09/2012 - 18:59

    yeah i bought one of these a few weeks ago now from jb hifi for $99, maybe even 3 weeks ago. works reasonably well from early testing, and its smaller than a seagate one i have had for a year or so which is 880GB and cost more at the time, of course!

    • jonoz on 15/09/2012 - 21:05

      No that's a desktop 3.5" drive, the one above is a 2.5" portable…

  • dimagiba on 15/09/2012 - 23:28

    "Delivers maximum performance for data transfers as high as 5GB per second for USB 3.0 and 480 megabytes per second for USB 2.0"

    Wow! I don't think the JB Hifi model can go up to these speeds! :-)

    • sk1ppy on 16/09/2012 - 08:22

      Desktop not portable like this one.

  • wtfnodeal on 17/09/2012 - 02:44

    Amazon WD 2tb my passbook for $152.99 delivered. Which one seems to be a better deal?

    • cyssero on 18/09/2012 - 23:21

      Amazon, probably. 100% more storage for around 50% more price. Warranty issues may deter you though.

  • atlas on 24/09/2012 - 01:00

    FYI just tested my drive and got 108mb/s read/write speeds under Windows from my SSD. Veli noice.
