The 500Gb 2.5" SATA bare drives are arount twice the price of the 320Gbs Around $200 just for the bare drive, sometimes 320Gb is not enough i.e. my itunes library
Yeah, absolutely.. the exact reason why I didn't negative vote..
It's still a good price, but if 320Gb will suffice, you can save, $70..
I'm voting positive - this is a great price.
Bing Lee isn't much help to the majority of Australians who live outside NSW!
How's this compared to the 1TB Western Digital offered at Officeworks for $177 at http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/9414 that's rapidly turning into a tech support post now?
Well the 1Tb would be a 3.5" drive for starters..
So the 1Tb is not as portable and would need a power adapter.
This drive is a 2.5" drive that is powered by the USB.. ie data and power come through the one USB cable.
Whether this will work on a DVD player will depend on the capabilities of the DVD player.
I'm guessing the problem with the 1Tb drive is that the DVD player cannot address a drive of such capacity.
I wouldn't be surprised if the DVD player can only address 32Gb (I think that's the magic figure).
Those USB DVD players are ideally for plugging in a usb stick drive.
good price, good deal… as is the bing lee one…
Too bad there's no Bing Lee in Melb. Would OfficeWorks in Melb match Bing Lee price for the 320GB??
officeworks dont sell the verbatim…. have seen it before at the north sydney officeworks, but verbatim drives no longer on the website..
Nice price, elsewhere selling more than $220 for same drive.
I have one of the 1Tb 3.5' $177 from OJ but its hardly portable, wont fit in my pocket and requires a powerpoint, as a result it will never leave my desk apart from the odd lan. but my laptop and for work a 2.5" is what I need, my 120 2.5" is chock solid full. I was just gunna buy a 500Gb and upgrade my current 2.5" external but this is cheaper
Clicked on the link today and there was no offer at $189.
Yeah, price has been bumped to $226…correction that's the GST Ex price. it's $249 now (GST incl)!!
I still see it $189 (ex GST $171.82)
Price has changed back to the $189 price for me now.. Must've been a glitch.
Definitely wasn't a caching issue becasue I saw the $189 price yesterday..
Smaller capacity (320Gb) but a better price ($119) here.. (Verbatim brand and USB powered so otherwise identical)
Price per Gb is slightly cheaper at Bing Lee, but fairly similar so not worth a negative
