    No deal, you can get 2TB Samsung for $99 @ HN

      It'd be long sold out by now….

      Anyhow, USB 3.0 drives are as cheap as $85 from ARC computers or $89 from MSY.

      Why pay $84 for a USB 2.0 drive when USB 3.0 drives are just as cheap?

      • I was in HN Chadstone Vic on Sunday and they said they'd take orders for the 2Tb @ $99. But you need to pay up front and they call
        you when it comes in.

        They said it was expected next week sometime.
        HTH.

    • any stock left? where?

    why post inactive links?

    Page not found We are really sorry, but we couldn't find the page you were looking for.

    Was the link incorrect? It could be that a mistake has been made in entering the link, the page is no longer available or that we are in the process of making site updates.

    and pricematches arent bargains

  • This appears the correct link:
    http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XH1199/wd-my-book-essential-…

    BTW does anyone know the difference between this and the Mac version? I don't see why a non-Mac version can't be used with Macs and thus justify the higher $129 price tag?

      on backorder though

      • bring in the dse catalogue to ow PM for $79.80

    • Mac version is preformatted for Mac.

      The "normal" version isn't - you have to format it yourself (extremely easy to do using disk utility and google)

    • Mac version probably has a firewire port as well.

  • Mac version is formatted for Mac, big deal, and HN have the 2tb 3.5 and the 1tb 2.5 for about $129 in their latest catalog me thinks…

  • this is deal = meh.

    love the enclosure though.
    anyone throwing their old WD my book away?
    I would pay you for the enclosure :)
