Where does it say $150?
You guys were too quick! Website took 20 seconds longer to update.
cheap price - shame it costs more including shipping than it does to get it at my local pc store.
nice price, but i hate places that you cant check shipping without creating an account… or am i missing something?

Delivery, Payment and Additional Charges
- Shipping if required is charged at $5 for Perth metro area, $12 for West Australia Country and $19 Australia Wide, regardless of order size. We reserve the right to refuse / change price for very large orders. Or you can pick up your purchace from our store in Osborne Park.
What! $19 for shipping such a small item to Melbourne!
That makes it $169 which is not that attractive a price for a slow drive albeit a 2TB one.
You could always buy more than one. I'll be buying two, for example.

For issues when running Western Digital Advanced Format drives on anything other than Windows Vista or 7.
Otherwise, good price :)
Did you publish a step-by-step guide, afterall?
I'm afraid i haven't yet :(
It's a matter of finding a slab of time where i can write out proper instructions that make sense to people who may not be big time computer geeks which is a bit tricky when it comes to formatting hard drives using command line tools under linux :P
I'll be sure to put a proper guide up on whirlpool or something and link it either here or the ozbargain forums.
Hey — no pressure. I'm looking forward to it, though. Perhaps you could publish a (pre-release) rough cut in the forums, and sharpen it up over time (perhaps with help from those motivated.)
late April WD released a graphical version of the align tool for XP that is very simple to use
Good price, especially in WA.
I'd love to see a Samsung HDD deal, though — the WDAF freaks me out.
$169 include $19 delivery,5% insurance(optional), 2.3% surcharge of paypal or credit card.
Better buy from MSY.$169 shipped to Melb. Better off going to MSY where its $169 for everyday low price like you said and easier to get warranty.
people, what happens if you buy 4.. its under 5 bux shipping per drive…
155 vs 169 or approx 14 dollars per drive saving, quite a bit…
id grab four, but unsure if my raid card would support them… returning something like that will be painful.
True, the shipping is the rip-off
eh? seems fair to me. unless you don't want any padding or that?
Last time i bought a hard drive from netplus the hard drive was just mailed in a used ms windows box. The only padding was some anti static bags motherboards come in. The hard drive almost fell out when I was pulling the bags out because the one bag it was in wasnt taped shut.
fair enuf. havent ordered anything from them myself online.
Ok so the general consensus is with delivery its not really worth it but pick up is ok.
unless your buying multiple drives…and at this price, its not a bad idea.
I bought one from them last week when they were advertised as "$159 special price for today only". Except it was the same price for the next 4 days, and who knows how many days before when I found the ad!
Could have waited till today and saved $9 :P
I +'d cos $150 is a good price if you can pick up/get delivered to Perth. But being from Melbourne, i'd probably just go down to MSY. Thanks anyway :)
Bugger! I just orderd 6 x WD20EARS HDD's from another place this morning.
Oh well at least I'll get them here tomorrrow!
Good price but!
6 :)
$19 shipping hurts if you only want one drive…
Ok seriously… How the heck can you charge $19 dollars for postage to the Sydney/NSW area? That is a joke for such a small and low-weight item. Sure $19.00 for a 22 inch screen or something maybe, but for a 300 gram hard drive? What a rort… Sorry.
I guess its because they charge 19 bucks no matter how much you order. Probably easier to administer. They may also have a simple shopping cart that is too difficult to configure based on postcodes and quantities.
I am guessing that they really hate posting things.
300 gram? at least 700g
Where can I get these 300gram 3.5" harddrives?.
they are based in WA, try sending something to WA from the east cost, can be a little more expensive…
good to see that WA isnt missing out on the bargains
but too bad the shipping is too much :(
+1 for Netplus, they're pretty good. Helen at the Myaree store is really nice.
although i don't need any drives at the moment. not that i can afford any even if i needed them.Netplus has been known to sell cheap drives.
Cheap as in price wise. not quality wise. Don't get me wrong!
I think it's a good bargain despite the short time it's available for. Even though I'm in NSW, I appreciate the bargain :)
It's good that both their shops had stock - makes it easier for people SOR to drop in and take advantage of the deal.
Looks like $166 on the website
