"One of the World's most Trusted Brands"
I guess that depends on what you trust it to do? I have a pile of dead Seagate drives here, returns from clients, that you could build a decent retaining wall out of.
Then it'll be a trusted retaining wall?
Yup! Until two days after the warranty expired…
I want to see this wall. By the sea.
The fact they have to put the word "genuine" in there kinda makes it dodgy
I was thinking just the same… perhaps that should add (honest).
.
Well this is a great price, if its all legit.
Not sure if I'll buy one or not due to uncertainty about the warranty from a company called "PeepnTom"
I dug into them a bit, couldn't find anyone saying anything bad, or anyone saying anything at all…
Good deal but what are our warranty chances like in say 8 months? Cant decide.
Price is great though.
It is tempting, 3TB drives and I'd bite.
Decided to wait till there are reasonable prices at a decent bricks and mortar.
Drives fail, so warranty claims are are real possibility and I'd prefer a no stuffing around environment.
Just don't trust "PeepnTom"…stupid name for a business/
3.5" Portable? Dope thought it was the 2.5" drive. 3.5" isn't really portable…
lol was just thinking the same thing. i dont consider carrying a power adapter as portable
damn accidentally press -ve
I was also confused by the "portable" desciption.
The de-facto "standard" seems to be 3.5" drives are "desktop" drives, and 2.5" drives are "portable" drives. OP should edit the description to save further confusion.
I did check productreview for PeepnTom but not deals.com.au - interesting reading indeed.
Avoid people, not worth the potential hassles by the looks of it. Cripes.
These guys are a freaking disaster.
AVOID AVOID AVOID
I was looking for that earlier. Thanks for posting. Unfortunately they're just one of many to avoid.
Its not a portable drive. From the website deal.com.au point you to for more information:
The Expansion external hard drive installs easily by plugging in two cords.
any one know the drive speed? 7200 or 5400?
My suspicion with these deal sites that list the supplier as something we’ve never heard of like this one, with no other website/contact details are actually ‘internal’ filler deals that the deal site themselves have sourced from china etc, order the required quantity once the deal is closed, wait 15+ days for them to get it then more days before their limited office staff re-posts them out to us. Meanwhile you get the back and forth delay of e-mails on delivery promises or even the supplier not being able to handle stocks of an item that we regretfully ‘ozbargained’
con site….
I'd probably stick away from anything that needs to advertise their product as "Genuine"
I had one of these, not a good drive.
Failed on me and got a replacement.
What a waste of a good domain name.
anyway, good price and 373 sold, get one!
Something is 'wrong'.
The vendor/merchant/supplier is peepntom.com.au
peepntom.com.au is owned by THE CLICK FACTORY PTY. LTD. ABN: 32 143 352 078
It is my understanding that there MUST be ABN/ACN info. on a .com.au website. However, I can find no such info. anywhere on peepntom.com.au
THE CLICK FACTORY PTY. LTD. appears to have no rights to have registered the peepntom.com.au domain - no company name, no business name, no trading name, no trademark, etc. I note that they used one of the very few .com.au registrars that do not check on the registrants right to register a domain name.
Apparently THE CLICK FACTORY PTY. LTD. may be insolvent - http://www.insolvencyappointments.com.au/2012/09/the-click-f…
At $99 for one or $179 for two including delivery - ie. say $100 or $90 each - the price is 'suspicious'.
The deal sites require a 30% to 50% 'commission' leaving the supplier/merchant/vendor with a MAXIMUM of $63 to cover their profit, and the cost of the item. For orders for two drives the maximum amount per drive is $60.
Might need correction
According to Fine Print, Delivery Australia-wide is flat rate of $10 which will be added per voucher on checkout
