Had to google who the hell Neil Poulton is as this guy must be a genius to have gotten away with being paid for designing a rectangular box….!!
Still prefer cheap bare drives and E-Sata docks over these flashy things that only have USB connectivity.
It's not JUST a rectangular box, it's a shiny rectangular box with a light.
they should change the name to Neil Poultry
bought one, thanks! :)
Hey Danilochan,
http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_3430_SanDisk_microSDHC_8G…
what class are these sandisk microsd's?
Updated -
Checked with our warehouse, it's Class 2
I paid for my order with BPAY but it still hasn't registered as paid, Any ideas?
BPay will take 1 working day to process payment and the cut off time is 4pm everyday. (i.e. if the payment made after 5pm yesterday, the payment confirmation will be tomorrow)
@danilochan: I paid on Wednesday night and my order still hasn't changed from 'unpaid'. Could you look at your Whirlpool account - I sent you a WHIM.
just bought the 2.5" 500GB!
Any idea on how long it'll take to arrive?
Normally within 3 working days in metro area
For what would cost me $120 (inc postage) for the external 1tb I'm really tempted..
Having just payed $200 for a monitor though I'm not sure what to do.. Gonna have to ponder this.. =[
my old man wants another 1TB, i've only been holding out so i can get a good price for one. this is a great price, thanks a lot!
These 1TB drives were $99 at MSY up until yesterday, but have gone back up to $125. That makes this a good deal, if you can organise pick-up.
Only notes i would give re-experience with drive:
- Have owned 3 of these so far, all 1tb models. Previous drives inside were 2 x Hitachi & 1 Samsung. The Samsung one died after a few months, but the other two still run fine. The two remaining one's are both easily the loudest and hottest drives i have ever owned & along with the Sammy, seem to have issues turning on/off (Take ages to turn on and are loud with clicking noises & sometimes they just wont power down without having to be unplugged from the wall). Owners over at a few other IT forums seem to have similar experiences, across the board.
Overall Pro's:
Cheap ($99 for an external 1tb is the best your gonna find, today), no hassles getting a replacement for the dead drive, some people find the design sexah!
Con's:
Loud, iffy start up & turn off, no idea at first about what hard drive actually in the box, casing has poor airflow compared to Seasgate & WD enclosures.
Anyone having trouble with the 2.5" 500Gb my computer wont detect the 3 that i brought. bad batch???
there is an incompatibility issue between the hdd and the enclosure unit according to shoppingsqaure .
Fill out RA form and send back
