Greetings all,
Long time OzBargainer, first time poster. I was going to buy this yesterday for $109 but couldn't. Lucky because now its only $99 making it an even sweeter deal for a FireWire portable hdd.
WDMT400GB, 5yr limited warranty, Capacity gauge, USB/FW400/800
Online only. Shipping & Handling fee of $4.95 applies whether you ship it to your house or local store pickup, charged once per order. Got the confirmation email, just waiting for the goods.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas ^,^b
No stock in NSW. These Officeworks bargains are a waste of time.
Sorry guys, thought it was too good of a deal. I'm from Melbourne and I got all the way past payment and have confirmation emails. Haven't been notified about it being out of stock. Fingers crossed. Hope it helped somebody!
Just got a call saying its ready to be picked up. Order made 10am.
Great find thanks op.
46 in stock in QLD :)
but i would say its not a super good deal though
i would prefer extra GB to the Firewire interface
wireless one has iomega 320GB for $75, better looking drive and better value for those who can pick up in NSW
WD is Mac ready and timemachine compatible plus the IMOEGA doesnt have firewire from the looks of it. They are not really that comparable.
is it hard to make a HDD Mac ready?
Yah the Iomega doesn't have have firewire.. but like i said i prefer better GB/Dollar to the firewire interface. USB is fine for most thing, if i need something faster, i prefer the caddy's with eSATA interface.
$105 for 400GB drive makes it 26.25 cents/ GB..
my local umart has Seagate freeagent Go 500GB for $125 - 25 cents/GB
so i don't see the value in this deal
It's also worth considering the extra warranty… the Iomega has 3 years, while the WD has 5 years.
The value is in the FireWire, as stated. Some people do value this option, even if its just to free up a usb slot. Unfortunately, an option you must pay for, so thats why its not directly comparable. Closest FireWire drive in the price vicinity is $116+ship and thats for 320gb. Also the Freeagents don't have the capacity leds =)
Is this 2.5" Sata
its portable 2.5" yes.
Can be formatted for Windows … nice find!
I'm grabbing one of these, can't wait any longer to be messed around by 9289 with their 30 minute sales in the hope that their 500GB @ $89 might return.
zOMG insane…picked up 2…will come in handy for the ridiculous amount of snorpogs i DLed last nite…thank you again duwee and god bless
There will be no stock when you go to order i bet , if any of the other ow deals are anything to go by there website and promotions suck
