It's back again! Another killer price for the seagate 2TB portable hard drive. Same price as this post , but the price has been reduced once again for a limited time and I didn't know if that post would be visible once again if I told the mods to update it as it was posted a month ago. These are usually $119 so get them while they're on sale!

Fits perfectly in a PS4, Xbox One.

Enjoy your purchasing :)

This is where you put the coupon code

Also available on their eBay website for $99 if you have a promotional code or voucher that would make it cheaper than this.

    Nice find. I bought one the last deal since it was a great price. I then promptly put it on a shelf and forgot about it until you posted this. I guess maybe I should try to stick to "deals" that I actually need, haha.

      I chose Pickup & selected a store (no problem)

      BUT "COMAC15" (without PIN #) didn't work…

      there was no "Delivery" item on the page (as in your screenshot)

      What am I missing here?

      PS Maybe TGG fixed the "with laptop" condition?

        You're inputting the code in the complete wrong place, read the post.

  • overlook on 24/02/2017 - 00:12

    the deal says with laptop purchase?

    • doweyy on 24/02/2017 - 00:14

      Works perfectly regardless of laptop purchase :)

      Yeah it worked for me last time the deal was on. I didn't buy anything else, just the PHD (Portable Hard Drive - gonna catch on you reckon?)

    Where do you put the code?

    1TB portable for $65.45 after code I don't think it needs it's own post. Not as good value IMO but might serve some better if they just need the 1tb.

    • cnut on 24/02/2017 - 12:28

      Cheers, grabbed the 1TB. Not as good of a deal, but if that's all you need, that's all you need.

  • ceftax3 on 24/02/2017 - 00:34

    Nice find! Thanks!

    Excellent price. Although HDD seems overpriced in terms of capacity to performance, when compared to SSD. HDD prices haven't come down in a while. SSD prices have halved in the last 12 months.

    • cdaddy on 24/02/2017 - 11:23

      There is little to no demand for storage drives (HDD) with people using the growing online storage/cloud services. Which is disappointing for those that thrive on https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/

        My family photo and video collection has grown quite large. With Australia's pathetic upload speeds online backup is really not an option. I have started using google photos from March 2016. Even after google cuts down the size of the photos and videos, I am still uploading since March 2016. Computer on 24 x 7.

        • bejahi on 24/02/2017 - 16:54

          Okay whilst I am in Canberra where VDSL2+ is widely available, with an advertised 20mbps upload (I seem to get closer to 50mbps), let's assume you're on a pretty bad ADSL2+ connection and are getting 500kbps upload.

          Let's be conservative and say that translates to 50KB/sec uploads.

          That's 3MB/min.
          180MB / hour
          4.3GB per day

          Since March 2016 that's about 1.4TB

          How many photos are you trying to upload, considering google cuts the file size down to approx. 4MB per photo, that's nearing half a million photos…

        • zealmax on 24/02/2017 - 20:38

          @bejahi: I am on Telstra cable. About 1.2MBPS upload. I have around 5TB of photos and videos. Why neg a statement like that? Who on earth thinks Australians get enough upload speeds?

  • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2017 - 02:14

    would this be any good as an internal drive?

    • Lief on 24/02/2017 - 03:57

      Depends on what you're putting it into.
      I'm pretty sure it's 9mm tall so it will fit in a ps4 or some laptops but not everything.

      • xerot on 24/02/2017 - 09:52

        I have one in my ps4, something to consider though is the new update (4.50) you will be able to use an external drive up to 8tb… not sure when it's released though.

  • seniordoc on 24/02/2017 - 08:25

    I want a higher capacity portable disk. Is this a good choice and price?
    https://www.amazon.com/Black-Passport-Portable-External-Driv…

    Does higher capacity disk have a higher failure rate?

    Thanks

    • kei on 24/02/2017 - 08:41

      I think that drive is not useable outside its enclosure, most WD has the non sata interface tied to the pcb board.

  • Taegukgi on 24/02/2017 - 09:25

    Will Officeworks price match on the discounted amount ($84.15)?

  • itonez on 24/02/2017 - 09:32

    Is this usb3?

      yes it is

      • itonez on 24/02/2017 - 12:29

        Yes!

  • Zorn on 24/02/2017 - 10:41

    Would they fit in a PS3?

    • Dreamcazman on 24/02/2017 - 10:56

      It should, although I don't know why you'd need that much space in a PS3.

    • radaxian on 24/02/2017 - 12:10

      It will fit in a PS3 physically but people have found that 2TB drives do not work and they start having trouble formatting them for sizes above 1.5TB, with 1TB generally considered the largest safe size to use in a PS3. It uses FAT32 format which in theory supports that size but people have had problems. I'd recommend just getting a 1TB. (PS4 has no issue with 2TB)

  • THEMAN_AUS on 24/02/2017 - 10:57

    great deal - getting 2.

    yeah, it'd fit in a ps3.

  • pennypincher on 24/02/2017 - 10:57

    Thanks OP, just purchased one for my PS4

  • hiaaron on 24/02/2017 - 11:04

    Would it be okay for disassembling and putting in the NAS? One of the two Seagate drives has died this morning needing replacement.
    Looks like Seagate fails more often than WD.

  • mitcheo on 24/02/2017 - 11:09

    Anyone know if i would have any dramas taking the 1tb out of my ps4, putting that in my xbox. and putting this 2tb in the ps4..?

  • fallentenshi on 24/02/2017 - 11:11

    Great! Thanks. Just purchased it from Goodguys! :)

    • Grok on 24/02/2017 - 11:26

      Good price but poor per TB

    • doweyy on 24/02/2017 - 12:06

      It was actually $199 when I posted it last night so they must have re-jacked the price This morning

  • Aemit on 24/02/2017 - 11:47

    Got one for $64.15 using the $20 store credit from the Goodguys Concierge Rewards. The credit came this morning. They are sending out the store credit to use this weekend.

  • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2017 - 12:01

    what sort of drive you guys reckon it would have internally. a Barracuda or something cheap? i was looking at a barracuda on Futu Ebay sale for $134 after 20%. is it worth getting this one and put it in the laptop? i have a metabox 17" laptop with 2x 480gb ssds and one slot to spare for which i want to get high capacity HDD….

      According to this website it's a Samsung Momentus Spinpoint ST2000LM003 rated at 5400rpm. Seems to have great reviews on Newegg .

  • LJV81 on 24/02/2017 - 13:08

    If anyone has any trouble to use this external hardrive like me ie. Not being detected in windows or OX, being recognized than unrecognized. You might need to download the Paragon Driver. Here is the link http://www.seagate.com/au/en/support/software/paragon/
    Was a bit annoyed that it didn't seem to be just Plug and Play - This all could be just me but thought the info might help someone.

  • bricabrac89 on 24/02/2017 - 13:17

    I don't need one right now, trying really hard to resist buying one…

    • Russ on 24/02/2017 - 13:53

      Resistance is futile!

      • bricabrac89 on 28/02/2017 - 07:34

        Managed to resist the urge, will wait for the next deal.

  • Daedalus on 24/02/2017 - 14:18

    code doesnt work? http://i.imgur.com/rU8dPyA.png

    • ozb9user on 24/02/2017 - 14:52

      Same thing is happening to me. I'm afraid they've decided no more hard drives :(, hopefully it's back up soon.

  • Major Mess on 24/02/2017 - 14:56

    It may be over. I just tried and code would not work for me.

  • Krondorf on 24/02/2017 - 19:05

    Worked for me this morning
    Picked it up this afternoon :)
    Thanks !

    but yeah.. not working now

  • Bnjam3 on 24/02/2017 - 22:03

    Bought this when i was tipsy last night and i have no use for it. If anyone from Wollongong want it let me know, otherwise will return it tomorrow as i didnt pick it up yet. I need to stop using ozbargain when im drinking :!

  • mitcheo on 25/02/2017 - 08:28

    I bought it, opened it up put it in my ps4, then figured out its faulty out of the box. and i scratched the enclosure getting it out.

    • Major Mess on 25/02/2017 - 10:47

      I cut up 2 litre juice bottle plastic to use as picks to open enclosures. Not much chance of marking anything.

  • roonie on 27/02/2017 - 09:06

    FiL bought one yesterday for $99 - he's happy. Price today is $119, was $129….
