Request for an opinion - NetPlus

Evening all . . .

Seems like the NetPlus website in WA has some fairly good prices on Samsung hard drives at the moment (500gb for $74, 1tb for $174).

Was wondering if anyone had any experience ordering from these guys that they would care to share? The only better pricing at the moment seems to be from Fluidtek:

*nuff said about them*

Cheers,

Bought my samsung 1tb and several previous drives from them. Quite a large store with good service. Haven't used them over the net.

Been shopping with NetPlus for 13 or 14 years... Bought my very first actual PC from them way back in the 486 era. Great service, never had a problem at all. And they have great sponsor specials through the Overclockers Australia forums.

I think you'll find the Samsung 1Tb for $174 is the 5400rpm model. The 7200rpm version is $189 and that price is beaten by other vendors.

If your buying online you may be able to do better for the 7200rpm 500 & 1Tb. Do an sI search using 7200rpm filter.

If you're doing a walk-in purchase at Netplus they may well beat a cheaper online price + delivery costs.

Have a look at IT Estate and Fluidtek websites but only if doing a pickup from them.

I've bought from Netplus a couple of times online and had no dramas with delivery etc to Sydney.

Sven (and everyone else) - thanks for the replies. I'm not too fussed about RPM speed, as I'm looking for a bunch of disks to set up another RAID for the "black hole" that is my media collection.

If the tax-man is nice to me (and the Minister for Domestic Finance doesn't get to it first

) I might do some shopping with them!

Cheers,
