External Hard Drives


SECURITY
 Share

Recommended Posts

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.

the hard drives are Seagate and Western Digital.

pricing is as follows (for SATA):

80g - $120

160g - $140

250g - $150

320g - $160

400g - $200

500g - $240

750g - $360

these are a good price compared to most out there which use inferior hard drives rated at lower RPMs.

firewire is $30 ontop of these prices as he hasn't worked out a proper deal through his supplier for anything cheaper.

postage is an extra $12. pickup in Sydney is available.

Group buy guidelines:

Payment will be in full prior to order being placed with the supplier.

Group buy will go ahead when I have 15 people on the list.

I will then ask for all monies to be paid.

Group buy will close when all payments are into my account.

ill update the list as i go.

First Batch

1. phillb - 320g PAID

Hey Joe,

Put me down for a 320g - $160 with USB please :) In the black case.

I hope this fills up quick as I am running low on space... and I'd be most likely to pick it up if in Sydney.

Cheers

Phill

    • Motor done back together, surprised is a understatement with this rb30. just think 10m under flood waters for a couple weeks, 20lt water inside the engine for 3years. cleaning the cooling system installing new plugs leads and overflow bottle and then I’m closing the bonnet moving onto the restoration of the body.    already finished few external pieces for putting the puzzle back together. this has been very enjoyable, frustrating at times definitely. Moving forward with my silo sub!!! thank you to everyone that has helped me so far, ✌️ att.jiLuuIrdYfPMplUAOjVfrq4OOOc082zjTnt1kJrhKVQ.mp4
    • Oooh, right. That makes so much more sense. For some reason I was picturing them selling a variety of pipe ends with nipples on them... Solid reasoning.
    • 100% this, no point delivering a steam oven when the client just wanted a toaster 
    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
