    Been trying to get better HDD prices from SE for ages! Well done champ :)

  • Anyone know what drive model is on the inside?

      Good ones :)

      I threw/dropped 2TB unit on the floor a few months ago in great annoyance thinking it was stuffed. The bugger is still working after kissing the floor. Turned out to be an issue with my Windows USB drivers. Other devices still worked in USB slots just not the Canvio so found a utility that managed to 'reset' driver conflict.

      • Heh, I should have given context.
        I'm wondering if it has SATA or some welded on proprietary connectors, and if it's < 9.5mm thick - as in "will it work in a PS4?"

        • I'd love to know the internals as well to bust it open for a laptop drive.

      I bought 2 of this same drive from Dick Smith a few months ago and I just ran them through CrystalDiskInfo and got Toshiba MQ01ABD100 for both of them. Here's a screenshot. https://imgur.com/u3ApqgY

      • Hehe daanish, also saw that funny clip on Great Khali. Anyway have you run CrystalDiskMark on it yet? I'm wondering how it compares to my WD Element Portable USB3 1TB drive.

        • I have no idea what Great Khali clip you're talking about. Here's a run through CDM https://imgur.com/3I0NSE2

        • @daanish: Oh just your link to Imgur, when I clicked on the next post, it was showing that funny clip on that Indian giant. Thanks for your CDM screenshot, yours appear to have slightly faster sequential read speed while 4k random speed is similar.

      • Champion, thank you

  • Cheers, great price!
    Anyone know if this will work for a Mac?

    • +2

      Of course it will!

      If you want to use it exclusively on the Mac then format it in HFS+

      Or if you want to use across platforms then format it in exfat

      • You can also keep the partition NTFS and use the included drivers on the hdd to allow osx to write to that file format.

  • I am getting a delivery charge of $11.10 To WA Is there some sort of code that I am missing?
    Never mind it gives the $11.10 as an end discount

    • It automatically applies 'TOSSALE' for free delivery

  • Good Price, But I got the Canvio Slim II version of this which uses an aluminium case and its thinner for $69.30 AUD during the Dicksmith Ebay Sale.

    • I keep telling myself that I wont buy anything from Dicksmith but every time they have the discounts its irresistible. I buy it and a couple of days after I immediately regret spending time shopping.
      It has happened to me on 4 occasions that Dicksmith has cancelled my order because they say "it's out of stock".
      In the recent DickSmith sale, I bought a Seagate 1TB and selected click and collect from Chatswood (NSW) store. It showed available then. A few days after when the order was meant to be confirmed, they cancelled it, probably because it was cheaper than their cost price or at least weren't making enough profit from it.

  • I bought one of these during ebay sales from Futu Online, it was delivered from Shopping express and the usb cable comes off the HDD all the time. Not sure I'm the only one with this problem. stopped using it.

    • are you selling yours off?

      • I need to buy another one to copy stuffs across before selling. Sorry won't happen anytime soon.

  • Good deal. Also noticed there was another 2tb drive for nearly the same price

    http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/samsung-m3-2tb-usb-por…

    This ones 119 bucks, but is from Samsung.

    Any reviews/comparisons/feedback?

    • +1

      +post for that one :)

  • +1

    Swear these deals pop up a day after you start looking for HDDs.
    Thanks spackbace

    • Usually after I buy or when I don't need one in my case

  • Not as good a price for the 2tb Toshiba canvio basics as the $88.66 deal from Dick Smith a few months back. These usually sell for around $100 when on sale. Still a good price delivered.

  • Is the Toshiba one the cheapest 1TB hard drive historically?

  • Anyone know how long delivery is (melbourne)?

    • Or like how long it has taken for Shopping to ship an item previously? I want one before the 21st of October for a friends birthday :)

  • can i use the 2TB for a PS4?

    • Good question - going by daanish's answer to my question above, if they used the '200 model 2TB drive I'd have concerns as it's apparently 10mm. Does half a mm count when installing a PS4 drive?

  • 1TB sold out - any chance of getting some more before the special finishes?

  • Toshiba Canvio Basics 2TB Portable Hard Drive $128.00
    Order Subtotal $128.00
    Total Shipping $9.55
    GST Inc. $12.50
    Order Total $137.55

    Why is it $137.55 at the checkout?

    EDIT ah, the special must have run out :( nevermind!
