what is NAS? how is this different to USB ones?

Network Access Storage. Meaning you can hook it up to your router so that everyone that is connected to your network can access the content within. If you use USB then the computer that the HDD is connected to must be turned on always in order to get access to the external HDD.

NAS works over the network. Multiple computers can access the NAS simultaneously. Very convenient if you have wireless. Tends to be slower than USB attached storage. Fast enough for video and music though.

I don’t know man.. DSE is notorious in their “stock” availability mishaps .. so I wouldn’t hold my breath there..

elcheapo on 05/12/2008 - 11:22

most price match policy exludes “clearances model, display stocks, etc”, you’ll get the idea.. but sometimes you may get lucky too :D

This is a good deal but no one in the Sydney metropolitan can get one because there all country locations. I don’t know about the other states though.

Up to 1TB (terabyte) capacity for sharing files

so you’ll need to get your own HD?

hence the price would around $360 altogather.

It comes with a HDD…

Wow, Elcheapo is right “DSE is notorious”!

elcheapo on 05/12/2008 - 12:19

Probably what they really try to say is.. “stock availability is for guide only - updated every month or longer”

Is this only available in those store?

1 scubacoles on 05/12/2008 - 15:15

Possibly.. the stock listing is unreliable. Pays to call first.

went into a store and all stocks gone already. it really is “very limited stock”

1 Stix on 05/12/2008 - 16:48

Why give it a negative then? The description was correct!

I think a lot of the new comers aren’t very nice with their votes.

It’s a great bargain dude. 3 years warranty too, from Lacie, if the page I was looking at was the right one.

Yeah, sucks to be us..
I asked some expat SA friends who are in WA now to stop by the Perth store for me. So back off everyone!! If there’s one there, it’s mine!!

Strike out Toowoomba DSE, just picked up the last one there. Had a quick play with it and other than no RAID seems fantastic.
