I wouldnt think so, because they have written in the paper 2 per person, to stop people buying in bulk and selling them off for a higher price. But i could be wrong
Is this SATA drive? I don't know why Maxtor website only list the available capacity for Maxtor Basics as 1TB, 750GB and 500GB
640gb 98
1tb 178
HN Brisbane city branch still got more than 20 stocks this afternoon…
Good deal!
ALSO they have microsoft vx500 lifecam for $24 (after cashback it is $9)
and microsoft wireless optical desktop (keyboard+mouse) = %38 (after cashback it is $18)
The Brisbane city branch has none left. The Aspley branch had none. The Everton Park one had about 5-6 left. They had them hidden round a corner away from all the other hard drives and they had $130 on them instead of $98, so just ask and they will change it to $98.
Its the same model as the 500gb at dse for $99.
So, is this a 500Gb or 640Gb?
JPOWER is wrong and an idiot.
the same model would be the same size drive. Since this is 640gb it's a DIFFERENT MODEL.
640gb version exists but its not on maxtor's website. JPOWER meant its the same series/design/enclosure as the 500gb one at DSE. So it IS the same model but not the same size. Different specification maybe ;) Just like an XT falcon and an XR8 falcon are still the same model (a falcon). No need to be an ass about it quantocks…
Don't worry about quantocks, he post rubbish all the time.
Looks like I will be going to HN instead of dse.
Thanks JPOWER.
i think i saw an ad the other day in syd morning herald - 640GB Western Digital ext hard drive for $109 at Officeworks. dont quote me on it but I thought it was $109 (640 GB, but might have been 500 GB). If you can find someone to match/beat the $109, I would say its better value than the Maxtor.
it was not the mini WD drives
That was 500gb, still not a bad price for WD.
shit :( bought my own enclosure and hdd and costed more then this. It only looks marginally better too.
This isn't all stores though is it? I went down to my local HN this morning and this drive is $149 (or 2 for $270)
which stores did you go to? just so we know not to go to those stores?
The store I went to had $130 on them. You just had to ask and they changed the price to $98.
I went to Campbelltown in Sydney. They had HEAPS of these drives but i got the price wrong. They have them for $179 not 149.
It didn't seem that they even know the Christmas sales are on. Hardly any specials on anything in store
I called HN in QV and they told me it's only special for Boxing day and all sold out yesterday.
Visited Harvery Norman in Woodville, SA at 11am today.
Noticed a ground stack near the registers of about a dozen of the 640gb version for $98.
More may have been available on a shelf somewhere.
Very good deal, even if you remove the hard drive from the USB case and install it into your PC.
so there would be some there tomoro?
I will return to the store tomorrow for other purchases and I will advise on stock I can see.
All gone, i went today.
@JPOWER: yes I went earlier and found none in stock.
lots of 1TB Maxtor external USB drives for $178 still available.
if someone could post the receipt, we can price match at OW and get cheaper by 5% ? ($93.1)
Yeh, can som1 do that?
The office works price guarantee terms & conditions state that they will only beat a competitors price by 5% if the item is in stock.
So no need for a copy of a HN receipt as the OW sales rep will most likely have to call the competitor to check on stock levels.
Went there today and they had the 1tb model for $178 as well. Couldn't haggle a cheaper price unfortunately
Can't find it at HN Auburn. When I asked the lovely sales guy, he pointed at those WD 640Gb for $140 or thereabouts..
Talk about customer service at Hardly Normal.
We got one from HN in Darwin today. They had heaps of stock.
Went to the Moore Park store in Sydney today & it's still $98 and plenty in stock
Insane. Regardless of what everyone says about Maxtor HD, this is a good deal and i might go pick one up. The question is, will they have only 2 per store?
