      I bought one last year.. it was the 7200RPM model inside..

    sweet! time to fill up the n40L

    • Kaboda on 27/06/2013 - 10:09

      Problem is you cant RAID the 3TB hard disks :(

        why is that ? any reason?

        i have a synology ds413j and have purchased this hdd to add it in my raid configuration.

        • oSquiggles on 27/06/2013 - 10:21

          the n40L can't RAID it.

          Err yes it can? I have 2 x 2tb raid1 and 2 x 3tb raid1
          Who says it can't? It should be fine to do with 4tb as well?

      • tarken on 27/06/2013 - 10:41
        +4

        Are you referring to hardware RAID? I am planning to use ZFS on Linux so I don't think there is a limitation on that.

        • chiefbodge on 27/06/2013 - 11:07
          +1

          +1 for ZFS - I use these 3TB disks with ZFS on freebsd and it works great. (N36L)

        • ilikecheapcrap on 27/06/2013 - 11:59
          +2

          +2 for ZFS - Run OpenIndiana, pass through disks via "raw disk", and you can have atleast 4 x 3TB (I have 2 atm), and then you can stick ESXI 5.1 on top, and run multiple VM's and also have a "NAS".. depending your ZFS configuraion you could have 3 x 3TB usable and 1 x 3TB for parity.. (also you can install a hack firmware which allows you to connect another 2 disks!)

    • IVI on 27/06/2013 - 12:46

      so, do these drives have standard SATA connectors?

  • juzz0 on 27/06/2013 - 07:32

    Especially delivered. There is still the bargainer in me that wants to go in-store (since I live close to an outlet) and haggle for a discount $5 for pickup but this price is already discounted.

    Any reason for the clearance? I am a bit hesitant the last Seagate expansion (2TB) I bought from Officeworks had a bad enclosure, so I unscrewed it and found the connector was loose. Obviously OW refused to honour any warranty since the enclosure had been opened so I could see what the problem in connection was. The HDD had no problems though and I still mount it with a Shintaro docker when I need to retrieve files.

  • chir0nex on 27/06/2013 - 07:42

    I bought 6 2TB in the last deal and they all worked great, no quality issues. Now they're all pulled apart and in my system because who needs that many externals? lol!

    • BarginHunter on 27/06/2013 - 08:06

      Are they easy to pull apart?

      • chir0nex on 27/06/2013 - 08:15

        Piece of cake - just a few clips, nothing a credit card can't fix.

        With the 2GB ones, the made in thailand ones were easier to pull apart - better clip design than the made in china ones imo!

      Separate. All 3.5TB are

      • teehee on 27/06/2013 - 08:40

        damn that ruins its portability for my laptop. And I can't even use it on there as an internal drive either i'm guessing

  • charliebrownau on 27/06/2013 - 09:33

    Thats crazy cheap for a 3TB Drive.

    I would do the same. Copy data from a 1TB to the 3TB
    Take the 3TB Out , put it in the PC and put the old 1TB into the external case.

    Now problem , does DSE actually have stock of it

  • Jit0809 on 27/06/2013 - 09:44

    they have stock but it fails to process the order on the final page. also its charging me $9.95 for delivery,

    anyone else encountered the same problem ?

    • Jad on 27/06/2013 - 09:55

      Yes, getting "Error creating order" when trying to do a click and collect.

      • Jit0809 on 27/06/2013 - 10:01

        ok tried to checkout again. seems like if you dont enter the first and last name it lets the order proceed. worked for me.

    The site seems to be playing up. Tried to purchase via paypal then cc and both said error. Then did click and collect and error too. Then remembered about officeworks lol So purchased there for $103.55.

    2 click and collect txt msgs have come through on my phone! Now to see if the cc purchase goes through too…..

  • Slabdog on 27/06/2013 - 10:44

    I placed an order online, however I didn't receive a confirmation email and it is not showing up in the 'My Orders' screen on the account page. I gave DSE a call and they couldn't see record of the order, they said they will call me back shortly. I made the payment through Paypal. Anyone else have this problem?

    • peterlong1952 on 27/06/2013 - 11:32

      I ordered one and paid by paypal. Paypal took the money, but DSE site says I haven't made an order. Must be bugs in their new server as I had to reset my password before I ordered. No confirmation of order recieved from DSE either.

      • Slabdog on 27/06/2013 - 11:43
        +2

        DSE just called me back and they confirmed that they received my order and forwarded the tax invoice to my email address. They said they have recently upgraded their website and are having some issues at the moment. Might be an idea to give them a call on 1300 366 644 - option 2. However my order still isn't showing up on the 'My Orders' screen, but glad they have record of it.

        I also had to reset my password and re-enter my name and address, the details didn't come through the migration.

    • moocher on 27/06/2013 - 12:05

      Same here.

      • Had to reset password
      • No details in profile (first name, last name, address) even though I'm an existing customer
      • No orders in 'My orders'
      • No confirmation email yet

      But going from paypal back to the DSE website did display an order confirmation page with an order number.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/06/2013 - 13:36

        I'm a bit worried now. Past experience with Sony tells me that when I need to reset my password financial details have been leaked.

      • moocher on 01/07/2013 - 13:05

        Not sure if others have had this problem paying by PayPal, but it seems like my order did not progress further. I rang up Dick Smith to check, Dick Smith's system is reporting that PayPal took my money but didn't give them the money. Checked with Paypal and the transaction was definitely completed. Dick Smith is now escalating to their accounts department.

        Hopefully nobody else had the same issue.

    • georgesc on 27/06/2013 - 12:28

        those 2 calls ate all my mobile credit, since they don't have a regular landline number, also I dont have access to another line.

        2x f*ck that

  • bluechan on 27/06/2013 - 11:00

    Yeah there's something wrong with the DSE site. I've received 3 emails saying I've placed the order and 1 SMS. But under my account I've only got one (different to the one in the SMS). Better to have more options anyway… But I'll try to hit up Officeworks later today. Don't you all Ozbargain this before I get there ok.

    Worth ringing Office Works… Somehow I wound up with a little (lot) more than the 5% discount.
    Should be $103.55 delivered if you ring office works 1300 633 423.

    Office Works model is SGBV3000GB
    DSE is STBV3000300

    Specs look identical (i.e. USB3.0 3TB AC Powered).

        Looks like they aren't beating the price now anyway…
        My price was a fluke but at $103.55 or $109 it's still pretty cheap.

    • lostn on 27/06/2013 - 12:13

        I've been trying to find this out too.

        The DSE model can be found on Seagate website & elsewhere on the internet, whereas the OW model seems to only be found at OW.

        I'd be going for the DSE model.

      • buzz83 on 28/06/2013 - 14:03

  • russticles5 on 27/06/2013 - 11:57

    Just went to Officeworks in Morley, Western Australia… couldn't get a 5% discount, the guy scanned it in and said that it's already priced at $109, even though online and instore clearly advertise it for $139. I didn't see him key anything into the computer, he just scanned it, swiped my card, and the receipt says $109. He said that head office keep an eye on these prices and adjust accordingly… apparently.

    Anyone had a similar experience yet?

    Oh well, still stoked I got a 3TB for $109 but getting it down a little more would've been even sweeter!

  • Dave1988 on 27/06/2013 - 12:06

    yeah just called 1300 officeworks they told me its 109$ , they changed it as they would be getting lot of price match inquiries
