Maybe, but this CenterCom HDD, and the JB Hifi version, are both WD**BPKJ0050**BBK. The OfficeWorks one you linked is WD**MP5T**BBK. Edit:…

Depends what you think "drives good" means, because nothing that old is going to "drive good" like how "something modern" "drives good". *…

You linked the non-hammer drill DF333DZ, and it shows $95.98 for me (sale price).

I read a good point in a post the other day, which was that our slightly-improved dollar might be enough to offset RAM related price creep…

Sames-ish, coz I bought one last week for $550 from PCCG. But I don't recall them having surcharge, so that's ~$5.50 saved - and there was…

I don't play games, but I've been using the B570 for the last 2 months, and it's been fine. I use A310 for the prior 18 months, and it was…
