MSY has just posted a deal on the Seagate Backup Plus 2.5" 1TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. For $40, this seems like a really good deal, considering most hard drives at these capacities cost around $70-$80.

You've never had so many options, and it's never been so easy to choose. From the latest Ultra Slim and popular Slim drives, to the ridiculous capacity and performance of the Portable and Fast drives, you can always rely on the Backup Plus family. And all Backup Plus drives come with cool features, including OneDrive®, Seagate Dashboard and Lyve. So stay on the move and safely take along your documents, photos and videos.

    Ordered! Thanks.

  • WoodenSpoon on 11/04/2016 - 23:10

    Can this be opened up to put in a laptop?

    • hahalongboy on 11/04/2016 - 23:15

      Yes, it can.

      • BluBoy on 11/04/2016 - 23:19

        Can it the HDD then be put back into the case and used externally later on?

        (Some cases have to be broken to get access to the HDD. This prevents you from reusing the case with the HDD in future, if you decide to change back to an external drive).

      • WoodenSpoon on 11/04/2016 - 23:24

        Thanks ordered one!

    Yeah im also interested to know if it can open to put in ps4 any1 know

    • hahalongboy on 11/04/2016 - 23:19

      It should be compatible with a PS4

      • coxjon on 12/04/2016 - 05:55

        No, it needs to be 9.5mm or shorter. This is 12.1mm.

        You could use it to backup your ps4 in the event of a hdd failure

        • lgacb08 on 12/04/2016 - 09:11

          Nah, 12mm is the thickness of the outer case, of course one would expect the internal drive to be thinner. Given the current development of hard disk, it's rather unusual to have 12mm 1tb disk retail at this price point, even 2tb are in 9mm size now

        • coxjon on 12/04/2016 - 09:52

          @lgacb08:

      The Seagate Backup Plus Slim is the one you want to put in your PS4.

        it's called being a proper ozbargainer.

    • hahalongboy on 11/04/2016 - 23:17

      You should have no problems price matching this hard drive with Officeworks. This will bring you down to $38.

  • edgar28 on 11/04/2016 - 23:19

    no stock in Balcatta :(

    • hahalongboy on 11/04/2016 - 23:20

      Price match with an Office Works store that has this hard drive in stock. You will be able to save yourself another $2 aswell

        when officeworks guy check online and stated out of stock in WA, they won't price match or they will add in 11 dollars shipping fee

    I'd be surprised if it's intentional, the email advertising the special lists it as a bundled item with a Netgear D6300 for $195.

    I wouldn't hold your breath on orders being honoured.

  • droptester on 12/04/2016 - 00:14

    Yes, you have to purchase with Netgear D6300 to get Seagate for $40. ( bundle price $195 )

    Please see my comment here posted 5 hours ago.

    Hey guys here's an Idea !!! ( if we all lived in a perfect world i guess )
    This idea clearly wont work because it assumes there is no greedy guts / fat ass gimp geek showing off how many drives they can buy in an hour, (no its not me !)
    But anyway be so cool if we could some how coordinate together to use this stock as actual "Reference Stock" so that we could all get one price matching the morning !

    Insert "I have a dream" speech here ….]

    If we all didn't rush to buy the last drives that are left behind instead of looking after the Oz bargainers.

    Do i need to start singing " oh what a wonderful world here ! Come on ppl..

  • kamikaze_ozbargain on 12/04/2016 - 01:29

    I hope msy keep it on their page till tomorrow so i can use it as a Reference to get one from office works. Even if they charge 11 bucks for shipping etc, still makes it cheaper

    Sent my dad to price match at OW, successfully bought 2 at $38 each.

  • jmmjbb on 12/04/2016 - 08:31

    Can be disassembled into a laptop 2.5" hard'disk? Just need one.
    Just mentioned by OP——considering most hard drives at these capacities cost around $70-$80

  • Crusader fox on 12/04/2016 - 08:40

    Will office works still price match,considering it's out of stock at MSY?

    • altomic on 12/04/2016 - 08:55

      No out of stock price match.

      Im at OW at the moment.

      Msy are closed till 10:30am.

      The ow staff member I dealt with said that they can price match if there is an expected restock date.

    • skygold16 on 12/04/2016 - 08:58

      Our price checkers guarantee that we bring you the lowest prices possible every day, and that's a promise. However, if you happen to find a cheaper advertised price on an identical stocked item that's in stock with our competitor - even if it's on sale, we will not only match it, we'll beat it by 5%.

      This is what office work price match says. :(

  • furys12 on 12/04/2016 - 09:01

    is there any locations this is still in stock to use for showing OW?

  • Crusader fox on 12/04/2016 - 09:13

    Darn, Don't think there are any location to show office works MSY has stock.

  • dlakers3peat on 12/04/2016 - 09:18

    how are people price matching with ow if the hard drive is out of stock?

  • Aloa on 12/04/2016 - 09:19

    Guys, I just went to the Officeworks at Pitt St, Sydney. The staff checked their stock and told me that they do not have any 1TB Backup Plus in stock across all Sydney Stores.

    I'm not sure if it is just he wants to deny an ozbargainer or not. He also mentioned that the pricematched product has to be in stock.

    No luck for today I guess. -_-

      OW definitely has stock, from their website.

      • Aloa on 12/04/2016 - 10:25

        He said all Sydney Officeworks have no stock.

          @greenpossum: that would be pretty dramatic though. They were mostly green, for them all to have zero stock… I highly doubt it.

    Please note the special price $40 for Seagate Backup Plus 1TB Silver is a bundle price only when you purchase a Netgear modem D6300 ($155) together. If you want to get the HDD(s) only without the modem, the price of them will be $85. If you still want the HDD by itself /themselves for $85 each, please confirm the order and we will give you the order number.

    I replied back telling them to cancel the order. :(
