As the title says, 1tb portable hard drive for $110
2 per person, only available from 13-15 November, while stocks last.
Cheapest on staticice is a samsung brand hard drive for $122.82.
Not completely sure but I think this is the seagate expansion portable hard drive. Specs can be found here: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/expansion…
Is that one a GoFlex? Msy isn't very descriptive but my guess is it would be the same as the one in that link.
External Expansion Hard Drive, not goflex

Nice this is exactly what I have been waiting for, poor work mate just paid too much a couple of days ago to buy from another online store and to get delivery when there wasn't any better bargains out there at the time. I should be getting mine before he even gets his delivered too.
$110 is just so good for 1tb portable hard drive.
so is this powered by usb or external power supply?
usb
Can someone compare Samsung 2.5" and Seagate expansion 2.5"
It is for 126 here. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/34172
Samsung external 2.5" drives have the USB interface built into the drive electronics, so no swapping them out elsewhere.
If I'm reading it correctly, the Seagate one has a SATA, Seagate “FreePlay” ST91000430AS drive internally, so you can swap it over. However its 15mm thick, so it won't go in a PS3 or many laptops.
Review data at http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-External-ST… , if this is indeed the drive sold.
However there are a few too many complaints of dodgy drives for my liking.
Thanks a heap, Sane
thanks, i passed it onto a friend
Trying very hard to resist. Excellent offer. I'm convincing myself that I will be better off with an internal 2TB but it isn't working!! Argh.
Go flex 1Tb was around 129 @ msy about a month go
Really? That's a lot cheaper than anywhere else is selling it for
Got mine from the Canberra store. If it wasn't for the price, I wouldn't get it there, the dude was not friendly at all.
was it the flex?
MSY aren't really known for their customer service. Just sayin.
Almost reaching the psychological mark of $100. Another few weeks to go.
That being said 2TB HDDs are also almost under $100 just have to wait a few weeks for the new 3TB and 4TB to come out and it will be storage heaven for me. More than doubling my storage space with two pineapples :D ($50s)
The seagate expansion model was the same one being sold by COTD, and reviews aren't positive concerning the expansion model. Mine arrived DOA and I submitted an RMA and got a refund for it.
There was a submission on ozbargain (about a week later?) for a similarly priced seagate 1TB, the difference being it was a GoFlex and it appears to be more popular, with much more positive reviews. So I went to pick up the GoFlex model at $127 from MSY Clayton, but they were all sold out by the time I arrived, another store PCWS in the same business unit area sold it for $125 so I picked one up from there.
Is it as reliable as, say, Western Digital?
yeahhhhh… it's EXTREMELY…. reliable..
I went to MSY and picked it up today.. and it DOA right out of the box… waste of time!
Why is Seagate still selling Expansion models? Just burning a hole in their reputation and brandname.
yea, i got mine today and its DOA too. damn sick. GOTTA REFUND
i got mine today and it worked just fine
it might fail one day. :)
I got a price match for it at Chadstone Dick Smith. No problem. Got it for $110.00
Worth paying the extra $16 for the Samsung model if you ask me!
MSY got dicked by the ACCC about dodgy warranties lol.

Will probably cause them to rise prices :(
might get them to lower prices, get some business back
comes with 3 year limited warranty
Except for the contents in a defective drive.
already put 180GBs of stuff on and it works fine AFAIK and so far theres been no problem.
I'm waiting till 1tb portable comes for $100… it's getting closer :-)
Kinda like the Aud/Usd rate… parity :)
Any idea/info on what model it is? Is it a GoFlex like previously(http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/32450)?
