Hey, saw this in an email, im sure some of you wouldve got it too. Due to the recent floods in Thailand/Malaysia the price of hdd's have soared, as alot of the factories were destroyed. Even at the mwave price of $109 is still cheap imo, so under $100 (id assume itd be at least $10 off in the sale) is a bargain. Sale only goes for an hour from 8pm to 9pm.
Only thing is its USB 2.0, probly why its cheap.

    quoting from your info "Due to the recent floods in Malaysia, price of hdd's have soared" pretty sure it was Thailand and not Malaysia mate

    • Skinnerr on 29/11/2011 - 20:50

      Why're you negging the deal? It's a good deal just because you don't like the company doesn't mean this post deserves a neg… just don't vote…

      • dustint on 30/11/2011 - 01:03

        why? so that mwave don't get the business

        • A Banana4scale on 30/11/2011 - 01:12

          vote for the deal and not for the vendor.

          Both negs removed. Please read our guidelines on voting They are there for a reason. Ignoring those just dilutes the power that a negative vote has. People have less respect for the vote and start ignoring it, rather than it being a true warning.

          And John if you suspect someone as being a rep and you are truly concerned about this REPORT it, that way mods with extra facilities to hand can investigate and catch offenders - negative votes dont do that.

      We are negging because of the OP's lack of historical/geographical knowledge now????

      excellent!

  • shaybisc on 30/11/2011 - 07:26

    One minute googling: as I suspected.

    "NEW YORK (Dow Jones)—Seagate Technology Inc.'s (STX) raised outlook indicates it will benefit longer than expected from higher hard-disk drive prices because of flooding in Thailand.

    The company has suffered from component shortages following the catastrophe, but its facilities in the country stayed dry, unlike those of rival Western Digital Corp. (WDC). The resulting shortage in hard-disk drives has led to a surge in demand, allowing manufacturers to command sharply higher prices and run unaffected factories at high capacity."

    A problem for one company becomes a rort for all the others. They'll keep this one running longer than the banana rort.

    Thanks for letting us know the deal!

  • [Deactivated] on 30/11/2011 - 10:49

    These are decent drives, unlike the Samsung Story I had. I'm tempted to buy a couple of these, but I don't really need em. XD

  • enforcer103 on 30/11/2011 - 11:22

    Interesting the removal of negative votes. service and support not offered or warranty failures are not issues taken into account in the voting system. shonky companies like mwave are effectively protected or Have I misunderstood the

    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines?

    References to a deal imply warranty and support - not Mwave.Voting is on price only - if it don't turn up or don't work Ozbargain seems to see these deals as someone elses problem. Wonder if this comment will get me banned?

    • neil on 30/11/2011 - 14:45

      enforcer, bad service, support, warranty offers are fine for a negative votes. An explanation would be good instead of "this merchant is crap".

      Quick guide:
      Suspected sockpuppeting, any other suspicions, incorrect title, missing price in title, incorrect description, missing rep tag, and anything that a moderator can change then use the REPORT button, not the NEG (or POS). Operators are standing by.

      Commenters: Don't make it personal. Don't direct votes at the OP but at the deal

      OP: Don't take comments or votes personal. It's not an attack on you. Water off a ducks back.

      • Skinnerr on 30/11/2011 - 21:07

        thanks neil. trust me i dont. care factor 0. but im not shy in coming forward if you catch my drift.

  • enforcer103 on 30/11/2011 - 16:37

    Thanks for the clarification neil - I am still learning - now I have some idea of what the report button is for as well.
