Found this via an OCAU post this morning:

This is retail packaging but at least $USD20 cheaper than any other 5K3000 3TB you'll find at the moment, and they ship to AUD.

Seems to be maximum of 5 per order at discount price, $USD139.00 afterwards.

The only thing I'm not sure about is warranty - maybe not same warranty as OEM drives that aren't in retail packaging.

According to my calcs based on the exchange rate of $USD1.10 to $AUD1.00 it's about $AUD115 per drive delivered if you buy the maximum of 5.

I did some quick calcs using PriceUSA which would give you their "delivery protection" i.e. they handle warranty returns. It works out $125 per drive for 5 shipped with that protection. I think I'd take the risk and just pay to return to B&H myself.

Bought 5 drives, total charged to cc (using AMEX) is $AUD575.31 = $115.07 per drive

    If only I had $500 or so to frivolously spend on this. sigh Maybe I should tuck away some in case bargains like this come up.

        • the discombobulated… on 03/08/2011 - 13:05

          Got mine yesterday. Have to say, what a total waste of packaging. HDs should be in antistatic bags and some bubble wrap for shipping. :)

    • davidl2 on 03/08/2011 - 23:31

      considered selling some spares? contact me! :P

        Sorry. If anything I could do with one extra one myself. :/ One of my raid arrays is going to look weird right now. A RAID 5 composed of 2 3tb disks and a RAID 0 of 2 1.5TB disks (and maybe a 250 if needed).

        Madness!

  • OzViper on 29/07/2011 - 10:33

    Booh…
    I ordered mine yesterday mid arvo. Got a comfirmation of order..
    Then late last night got an email apologizing that they are out of stock and that my order can't be fullfilled at this time.. :(

    • the discombobulated… on 29/07/2011 - 10:35

      Did they cancel or is the order in a holding pattern? :/

      • OzViper on 29/07/2011 - 10:52

        I think it is on hold. I have the option of cancelling the order or waiting for more stock..
        They were a little vague on whether they will honour this price with any new stock that might come in..

  • bohn on 29/07/2011 - 11:33

    Where can we get more deals like this? ;)

  • Jester on 29/07/2011 - 12:36

    I need a new HD to run Windows 7 off of in my old machine. Will this be any good or should i go for a 2TB drive?

    • stripe on 31/07/2011 - 13:03

      If you need 3TB get a 3TB, if 2TB is fine get a 2TB.

  • tatasauce on 29/07/2011 - 16:00

  • davidl2 on 31/07/2011 - 13:24
