Very special buy from Aldi

**KarlB** · 1st August 2011, 08:56 AM

Aldi are selling a 320 GB external hard drive for $99 (see ALDI - special buys from thurs 28 jul - hurry, limited stocks in store*). You need to be very carful however, the operating software is infected with the conficker virus (see AusCERT - ALDI 4-in-1 device spreads conficker)!

Cheers

sounds too dear for 320 gig. I have heard of 1 terabyte for $99, and 500 gig for $49--.

not only is it special,
its expensive!

maybe the extra $$ is for the included software

It's a lot more than a HDD.

I've heard you can get the included software for free, if you do your homework and look around the internet in the right places.

I thought it was some kind of Federal offence to knowingly sell or supply software containing malware???

Hmm... That's very expensive.

2TB would be cheap

Office works had 1TB in that ball park.

I picked up a 1TB Seagate external for $79 a few months ago .... and the 2TB version goes for around $129.
