Ordered Seagate expansion portable 2TB drive from a previous Ebay deal. It shipped in a large unpaded cardboard mailer envelope. Box arrived a bit crushed but drive in perfect condition.. Although it says location Melbourne. Usually ships from the closest store with stock. As TRENT86 says I would pickup from store as you never know how a courier will handle the package.
Based on the specifications of these portable drives, when they are powered off and in padded packaging you should be able to play football with them. Supposed to handle 300G. Doesn't explain why I have had drives die when being moved from one location to another.
Torn between the 1TB WD and 2TB Seagate. I don't really need 2TB (I have 2 NAS's for my storage needs) but the 2TB is slightly better bang for buck. The OzBargain dilemma…
- 1TB = 5.5c/GB (~100MB/s R/W)
- 2TB = 4.7c/GB (~125MB/s R/W)
I think I'll get the WD 1TB, it's actually less than the 2 x 500GB used-drives I recently sold and quite faster (they did about 68MB/s R/W), so that'll be quite awesome… Although the 2TB is only a few bucks more than I sold them for. I don't have a coin to flip, so what do fellow OB'ers think? :)
if you don't need the space then save $40 and buy the wd?
the only potential problem with the wd is that the usb plug is most likely soldered to the drive, you can't take it out of the case and use it as a regular hdd.
Ah I've heard about that (the soldering), but alas I have no need to pull out 2.5" drives so that's perfectly fine. In fact I've been doing the opposite with old 2.5's and buying USB 3.0 cases for them. But all are 320GB, messy if I want to carry a lot on a trip. 1TB is ample though.
Decision made, thanks sir :)
Personally, I still prefer the usually thinner and lighter form factor of a 500GB or 1TB over the current offerings of 2 TB. If cheap like this, I rather have two smaller drives than one bigger one, for portability and in case one gets dropped lol. At this $55 price your winning.
Yeah I considered that viewpoint too (2 vs 1).
Decided on the 1TB. Nice and portable and more than enough storage for long trips away.
If you don't need to open it up and remove, this is a great choice. Next year you can possibly pick up a 2TB thinner newer version for close to this price ( hopefully ).
Let's pray for no more floods in Thailand lol.
a good point, but if i'm right then the drive inside of this one is a standard 9.5mm thick one.
the case is different from the very slim backup plus drives, but i actually find that the extra plastic and rubber bits will most likely provide better protection.
also if you're planning to remove the hdd anyway than this is much cheaper(than the backup plus).Good points, but I think most Western Digital drives are soldered on.
i'm talking about the seagate one :)
@baldy:
My bad. Your correct with regards the seagate Expansion Portable 2TB. My point still stands that the 2TB is thickish and little heavy as is a 9.5mm ( most brands still are ).
Soon they will mostly all be 7mm and lighter ( although more delicate and easier to damage ).@ozhunter68: Only one 9.5mm 2TB in the market. Been like that for a few years now. 2TB 7mm isn't happening any time soon.
Anyone else getting this when trying to select a store for click and collect?
Operation timed out, please try again in a few minutes.
OfficeWorks Price Match?
They'll beat the advertised price by 5% but the advertised price is $119.
I went to officeworks and they matched the price after i showed them the price entering code
I thought coupon offers were excluded from their LPG?
If I'm correct that's the 2TB harddrive I can pop open and put in my ps4 right?
Your correctness is faultless.
That is welcome news.
Awesome. Bought for this very reason.
Bought just received mine yesterday. Box was beaten up though. Installed in ps4 fine now just redownloading all my content
If i am buying an ATX gaming pc, would you recommend getting the 1TB or 2TB instead of a 3.5" as a secondary HDD apart from the SSD?
To reply to my own question, if the 2tb drive can be crack open. I can you it in a pc as well. :)
Good guys have the 5tb for $229. At the after discount price of $183, it works out to be $35/tb, but be warned its highly likely it uses SMR tech
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Seagate-2637520-5TB-Expansion-Des…They've shipped well over a million 5TB shingled drives with 4x 1.25TB platters without notable issues.
That is something to keep in mind, maybe? I don't know about it not having notable issues though. From what I've read its susceptible to power loss during write, leading to large scale data loss. If your a light user, backing up once a week using less than 50% of the drive its probably okay, but if you plan to shuck the drives and use them in a computer, I would say avoid. Personally I would get them if they were half the cost they are now, but thats all.
There were some write head concerns about accidental over-writing (data spilling?) of existing track data because the write tracks are gapless but they seem to have solved that issue. But I do acknowledge your concerns, I wouldn't use them to capacity.
So it's only a 2.5TB drive? :P
WD sold out
What is the shipping cost on these items?
