    Would office works beat it?

    Argh. I bought the 320GB imation from OW last week for $39. Just another reason to fuel my rage for HN.

    • umadbrahhhh on 20/02/2013 - 17:28

      bit misplaced…

      • Peace Maker on 20/02/2013 - 17:35

        It's HN! I don't need a valid reason. They have accrued enough bad will over the years to be the object of my anger for things they aren't technically aren't even responsible for.

      Seagate 500gb at OW for $48…!

      • empty456 on 20/02/2013 - 19:39

        Thanks. Bought this one instead; HN drive is on back order at my local and the extra postage kills the deal.

      • EssendonUser on 20/02/2013 - 23:21

        isn't it USB 2.0???

    • duneknight on 21/02/2013 - 16:09

      i hate to say this man, but a few days ago imation erased all my files by itself. if this happens to you pm me i will tell you how to get it back, usually by using testdisk software.

  • fungi79 on 20/02/2013 - 17:36

    Can you take the drive out of the enclosure and put it in a laptop?

    • PigSnowball on 21/02/2013 - 05:20

      Typically not, especially with this line of drives from WD you aren't even guaranteed that it will be a form factor that will fit a laptop.

    • Regie69 on 21/02/2013 - 15:22

      If its a SE model you can not put into laptop according to Whirlpool.
      Can anyone confirm as the link is from 2010?

        If their is a incompatibly issue, It will be due to the drive specifications not the physical size.

        SATA 1.0 through to 3.2, there is a possibility your laptop will not support the higher speeds
        But all this information will be disclosed either on the manufactures web-sight or in the user manual

    • JetAU on 22/02/2013 - 13:25

      Yes you can :)

      HDD's are manufactured in 1.8" 2.5" and 3.5'
      It's the universal size all manufacturers use

    If anyone manages to get JB to pricematch i would be so grateful if you could post a photo of the receipt. I have $300 worth of giftcards to use.

    • duneknight on 21/02/2013 - 16:13

      you dont need reciept just get them to pricematch as per usual.

    What kind of read/write speeds do you get with these drives?

    Do WD drives still have their horrible "smartware" that steals space and can't be removed?

    HN has no stock in BNE but OW has the Seagate equivalent for $48, also IOmega 320G for $39.

    Use the code 'WELCOME5' to bring it down to $41 http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/94577

    Cheers for this (& for the promo code above) - should be added into the main post.

    I got 1 at $46 and decided to go for another at $41.

    My local HN was showing OOS, but got a call from them earlier and they are sustituting the Toshiba (also 500GB and USB 3.0)

  • giggles on 21/02/2013 - 15:38

    No stock and on back order. Delivery to store was meant to be on 19/1.

    As far as I can see this is another Harvey scam ad.

  • cptcurry on 21/02/2013 - 15:56

    Price matched it at jb hifi and they happily gave it to me $25 below their cost price lol

    • T_double_U on 21/02/2013 - 16:12

      *floor cost price ;)

      • JetAU on 22/02/2013 - 13:45

        If it's part of the EL(end of line) or Q(quit/discontinued) range they can and will go below cost price, their PDA will tell them how much GP(gross profit) is left in the product.

        The manufactures offer retailers incentive's to clean out the old stock to make way for the new

  • camelgrass on 21/02/2013 - 18:21

    Why are these drives so thick for a portable? Nearly 2cm thick for only 500GB capacity (1.9mm in reality).

  • calkay on 21/02/2013 - 20:42

    We're gonna need a bigger coat…

  • lfak on 21/02/2013 - 22:46

    I got it from JB. Showed HN website and priced matched it straight away. there is plenty of stock in Merrylands
