This week we have reduced the price of our new 256MB USB FlashDrive to just $218 - these are in stock and you can order at - http://www.zytech.com.au/usb/pen/index.html
We are looking to introduce FireWire 800 hard drives in the second half of February ... stay tuned for more details and pricing. At the same time we will be reducing our standard range of FireWire (400) hard drives back to a single main line. This means that we will be deleting our Pyro hard drive range and moving across to FireCubes as being the major drive range that we carry. As FireCube cases cost us more than the Pyro case you can expect to see entry point pricing increase throughout most capacities ..... so the bottom line is .... if you want a $399 80GB Pyro FireWire drive you had better hurry! http://www.zytech.com.au/special.html The other hard drive news is that Hitachi have purchased a controlling interest in IBM's storage division and shortly IBM hard drives will become Hitachi hard drives (as will 100% of the company over the next 2 years). There is no impact on pricing at this stage but clearly Hitachi are keen to use hard drives in consumer equipment which will likely see shortages in the traditional 2.5" storage markets. I'm not sure we are celebrating, but we are offering a 40GB FireStorm portable FireWire hard drive exclusively on the mail list this week for $399. This drive only requires a FireWire cable, using bus power - http://www.zytech.com.au/firewire/drives/firestorm/index.html Just insert WAMUG special in the special instructions field at checkout and you will be billed the $399 price. Standard RAM pricing is likely to continue to rise as suppliers ramp up their DDR output (the price of which is generally falling) but is creating a shortage in the SDRAM market. We expect to see DDR & SDRAM pricing meet somewhere between their current prices. That means expect to see 512MB PC-133 (first-grade) RAM back to a low $200's price tag. For those lucky enough to have a 17" PowerBook (or 12" for those with small briefcases) we now have aluminium PowerBook RAM upgrades on our web page. However, when you see the price you won't feel so lucky! http://www.zytech.com.au/memory/ram.html We are also introducing new aluminium 6-in-1 card readers and we have just a few of the previous (plastic) model that we are quitting at $49 including free delivery - http://www.zytech.com.au/memory/readers/usb/5in1/index.html Same drill, just insert WAMUG special in the special instructions field at checkout.
