HN website pretty much clearing off all WD hardrives. Any reason for this? new generation coming or no more WD harddrives? I noticed local Officeworks didnt have any WD HD as well..
Duck smith doesn't have wd either, any more.
Thanks OP! Great Deal :)
Can anyone comment on the reliability of these drives?
Very Reliable.
May have a soldered USB header like many Western Digital portable drives. This makes it difficult to re-use as an internal disk or diagnose if the enclosure itself fails.
They definitely do.
2.5" WD HDDs have had soldered USB connectors since around 2012.
Sign up? How to?
Looks like this deal(exclude shipping) is good..
http://marketdeals.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=product_i…I hate the bloatware that comes with the My Passport drives - I find the Elements range better.
Yeah true but right click and quick format is not hard. It's not as if you can't remove those preinstalled files.
But there is still something in the firmware and I can never get rid of all their stuff. Reformatted as fat32 aNd there was still something on the drive. Returned and got an elementso drive.
elements are much better.
Fat32 on 1.5TB hard drive? I haven't used fat32 for a very long time…
Market Deals seem to be very dodgy according to previous OZB experiences.
I was hoping to see the WD Passport 2TB for around $120 but it's still high at $156. The other sizes are good value.
Thank you, got one.. it seems to be quite easy to return with HN if there is any issue with the drive
I missed out on the Big W deal, just to save $3 from OW price match..
What was the big w deal
Wanted to price match at officeworks/jb hi-fi because it's a lot easier for me to drop in there on the way to/from uni. Unfortunately the fairy meadow OW one has no passport in stock at all and jb hi-fi doesn't have the 1tb :/
So my logic is, if I buy two or three, that's like paying 50% or 33% for the shipping \o/No 2TB? Damn, I guess I will go with this
Just picked one up for $93 - many thanks OP!
Got a popup saying "Hello Ozbargainer" when the page fully loaded. They've got professionals working on tracking links now…
Just waiting for the $5 off coupon now.
Edit: Purchased. Thanks for posting the deal.
