SECURITY Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/174574-eoi-external-hard-drives/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SECURITY Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 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 pics will be up soon.

SKYLVIA Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 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?

SECURITY Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 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.

SKYLVIA Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 (edited) 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 Edited June 29, 2007 by SKYLVIA Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/174574-eoi-external-hard-drives/#findComment-3204607 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
