hey guys, i was talking to a mate in the business and he told me he had a fair few external hard drives that he can get in.

he said he'd cut a deal for my mates (sau members) if we can get numbers up on orders as he has to do them on a bulk buy kind of thing through his supplier.

they come from 80gig to around 500gig (and i think 750gig) and range from $120 for the 80gig to $240 for the 500gig.

they are all seagate SATA drives and come in a choice of 2 covers. ill get pics once he's got them.

as for prices i dont know if theyre good or not so thats why its an eoi.

so... express your interest.

cheers,

joe

Edited by wld33r

ok prices are in:

80g - $120

160g - $140

250g - $150

320g - $160

400g - $200

500g - $240

750g - $360

the 750g is apparently hard to get but if there is enough interest he'll get them in.

are they actual external HDD's? or just internals put into a case?

Im after 1TB external HDD (yeah i know they just chuck 2 500gb HDD's in a WG case) i know WestGate make them... can he get those in?

Otherwise i might go 750gb depending if its an actual External HDD, as in made to be external...

Also, any pics?

internals put into cases. thats how theyre all made mate.

ill ask if he can get a 1TB but when we were speaking he said that 750 is the biggest he had.

why not throw 2x750 and get 1.5TB :D

pics will be up soon.

lol when i say external or internal, i mean an actual brand name HDD made to be external, like ive got a maxtor one, and it was built to be external, where an internal one in a case, im not too sure if i trust 100%

I might still go 750gb, its pretty cheap... are they sturdy cases?

all external hard drives are internal drives thrown into an external case. im pretty sure of that. otherwise they wouldnt be so big.

the cases look pretty good.

pics:

they come in 2 styles. he said he MAY be able to get others but hes not 100% on that.

yeah a hard drive is a hard drive, but the ones that are made to be external are abit more solid to protect the HDD and most have there own security settings...

If a TB is available let me know otherwise ill prob go a 750gb

postage is around $12 express.

i order these as i get them mate. i may end up making this a group buy if i get too many orders, but for now ill take them as they come.

USB 2 and Firewire?

the prices quoed are USB only. to get the cases with both will be $15 ontop of the prices quoted.

i was doing this on the basis of being cheaper for you guys.

yeah i want Firewire? are these firewire?

as above.

Can i use one of these for my xbox old boy???

sorry mate ive got no idea about the compatibility of these with the xbox.

What power source is available? USB off pc/laptop or external?

Interested in a 320g with USB and firewire :D

the power source is external mate.

let me know if you're interested as this will soon be a group buy.

can i buy just the external case by itself?

thanks

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
