I'm sure this isn't the cheapest it has been but I believe this is the cheapest around
My 2TB just crapped out so I needed one urgently
I had officeworks price match to $202.35 http://imgur.com/gallery/OHy8H/comment/1068747415

I figured it was rare officeworks wasn't the lowest so some people might jump on it ($1 cheaper than OW at HN lol)
This is for my plex server if anyone is wondering :p

CHEAPER FROM AMAZON IF YOU WANT TO WAIT. I will be.

    Tip to save money: Just hold down shift and delete on your files and choose "yes". Quicker, cheaper and easier than buying a Seagate.

    • teacherer on 05/07/2017 - 15:03

      yeah i've heard that. Willing to risk it seeing as its just tv shows and theyll be backed up elsewhere. Thanks mate

      • syousef on 05/07/2017 - 15:21

        Backblaze run them in a raid configuration and chuck the dead drive, because the Seagates are a few dollars cheaper and it adds up when you buy thousands of units. Tell me how you plan to raid your portable drive please.

        • teacherer on 05/07/2017 - 15:52

          What should i get instead guys?

          @science-teacher:

          WD or Toshiba seem to be the most common other brands.

          I've had good luck with the WD Elements drives but their have been reports of problems with the 4TB portables. 4TB desktops have been rock solid for me. In the last few years I've had a lot of Seagates die. 3 this year and only one of those with enough use that it's acceptable. WD 4TB elements desktop drives have been rock solid.

        • teacherer on 05/07/2017 - 16:16

          @syousef:
          Hmm 4tb wd elements looks like $190 for 4tb, bit too much compared to the seagate for me
          I appreciate your help

          @science-teacher:

          You're welcome. It's your money. Only you can decide. Hope it works out for you.

        • Tacooo on 06/07/2017 - 12:11

          Of course they run them in a RAID config. They're in a datacentre. They also run every other brand of drive in RAID configuration too and also throw those dead drives once they're done. What's your point?

        • syousef on 06/07/2017 - 14:55

          @potplanty:

          What's my point? My point is that if you buy a dinky little USB drive you can't take any of those precautions and if the drive dies, you better have a backup elsewhere or there goes your data, and either way you get burned for the money. Seagate warranty replacement sucks. They don't even give you a new drive. Just a refurb.

  • erland on 05/07/2017 - 15:23

    I've had my eye on this drive for a while, looking to get it when it's a bargain. Currently significantly cheaper to buy from Amazon - approx. AUD $162 shipped.

    • teacherer on 05/07/2017 - 15:30

      Wow, I might take mine back, havent opened it.
      Any others i should be considering mate?

    • teacherer on 05/07/2017 - 15:40

      Might pull the trigger ay
      161.78 using my coles card

    • teacherer on 05/07/2017 - 15:58

      I'm liking the 5tb one for $196
      Extra $30 for 1 more TB

        How do you get officeworks to price match amazon?!

        • teacherer on 06/07/2017 - 07:19

          The guy was really nice. He had a think about it and after some convincing
          I printed out the invoice
          He wanted to make sure delivery and aud were included. I said how about us and we google the conversion rate to save $10

        • NotAnAudiophile on 06/07/2017 - 12:42

          No go with my local officeworks!

  • NotAnAudiophile on 05/07/2017 - 16:50

    Are these drives shuckable though?

    • syousef on 05/07/2017 - 17:28

      I think you mis-typed "chuckable" ducks hehe

      Yes

  • OM7D on 05/07/2017 - 18:15
