    "Hot Buy!" to quote the catalogue.

    I've actually got four of these in rotation (ha!) at the moment as part of my backup routine, kept as two seperate pairs (one pair offsite). Handy little drives.

    • alvian on 20/10/2018 - 14:54

      5400 RPM?

  • Rangaskhan on 20/10/2018 - 11:43

    Remember to price match at officeworks for an extra 5% off.

    • dm01 on 20/10/2018 - 11:45

      Officeworks have already lowered their price to match it, so no 5% off.

  • catchganu on 20/10/2018 - 12:08

    Is it better to get the Seagate back plus ultra slim ones for 100$ with the 20% off ebay promotion.

    They provide 3 yrs Warranty and very slim…

    • dm01 on 20/10/2018 - 12:18

      Can't see any advantage to the Ultra Slim, and it costs more.

      • catchganu on 20/10/2018 - 14:06

        Better warranty, less weight and better looking

        • dm01 on 20/10/2018 - 14:07

          Warranty is the same according to the OP's post.

          As for better looking…it's a hard drive. But whatever floats your boat.

          • catchganu on 20/10/2018 - 14:12

            @dm01: Yes, agreed on the warranty.

            Also 3.5% cash back on Cashrewards

    Officeworks has the 4tb expansion for $148 which is a decent price too.

    A great buy for anyone who is going to purchase Red Dead Redemption II for Ps4/XB1. The file size is going to be huge. 99 GB on PS4. You'll need to have even more room if you're going digital, as the installation process will require an additional 50 GB on top of that. Xbox One owners, meanwhile, will need to have 107 GB to install the game.

    What is the original price?

    On this deal 06/10/2018 it was $79 Seagate 2TB Expansion Portable HDD $75.05 C&C (or + $5.26 Delivery) @ The Good Guys eBay reduced to $75.05

    On this deal 09/10/2018 it was $88 Nintendo Super NES Classic Edition $95.96 CC | Seagate 2TB Expansion Portable HDD $70.40 C&C (or + Postage) @ The Good Guys eBay reduced to $70.40

    Whilst the previous deals are both expired, $84.00 doesn't seem to be a "Hot Buy".

    • Robc on 21/10/2018 - 10:02

      Yeah, you are right about this. What is the usual price? Realistically if something is always on sale, that becomes the normal price.

      As hamza pointed out above, it's cheaper on fleabay anyway. Not knocking the OP, somwtimes its worth a few dollars to walk in the store and be out in 5 mins.

        Staticice is a great way to gauge this.

        • Robc on 21/10/2018 - 11:26

          Ill take a look. Cheers.

          Edit: doesnt seem to cover fleabay deals etc. Still useful to get walk in prices though.

          • dm01 on 21/10/2018 - 12:10

            @Robc: If you want eBay prices, search for completed listings within eBay.

            • Robc on 21/10/2018 - 17:20

              @dm01: Do those show with discount codes? I.e what someone actually paid after using a code? I doubt it, but ill take a look, cheers.

              • dm01 on 21/10/2018 - 18:20

                @Robc: Geez, do you need to be spoon-fed every little bit of information?

                • Robc on 21/10/2018 - 20:53

                  @dm01: Nope, but i don't think you understand what i mean. How much the end user pays for an item, after using discount codes, can be 20% less than ebays reported sale price.

                  Ebay regularly gives codes from 5 to 20% off. Sale histories dont show this.

                  So what is the real price for an item?

                  Thanks for the link to static ice, as i said, looks like a useful tool.

                  • dm01 on 21/10/2018 - 21:55

                    @Robc: Oh I understand perfectly. But whether someone uses a discount code or an eBay voucher is a) none of your business and b) going to show an artificially low price.

                    • Robc on 22/10/2018 - 02:01

                      @dm01: Having a dummy spit ? Awwww.

                      • dm01 on 22/10/2018 - 02:04

                        @Robc: Nah, just get annoyed by stupid questions.

                        • Robc on 22/10/2018 - 08:29

                          @dm01: Me too. About 30% of the posts here usr a code for a discount. This site is designed so we get artificially low prices. But, you know, whatev's.

                          • dm01 on 22/10/2018 - 09:59

                            @Robc: eBay is not OzBargain, and 'whatevs' (or its misspelled variations) is a great way to indicate a sentence lacking substance.

                            • Robc on 22/10/2018 - 10:02

                              @dm01: whatev's.

      'up to' 3.5% cashback.

      It's only 1.75% on Tech (Shopback is the same).

      Cashback on Tech: 1.75 %

  • DonWilson on 20/10/2018 - 15:45

    Does anyone know if this is SATA inside or hard wired USB?

    • Necron on 20/10/2018 - 16:46

      IIRC, WD externals have the soldered-on connectors and seagate have the removable adaptor.

      • dm01 on 20/10/2018 - 18:59

        I've heard the odd report on reddit of a shucked Seagate 2.5" drive having the USB controller soldered directly to the drive, but have yet to see any actual proof.

        • Necron on 20/10/2018 - 20:31

          https://youtu.be/rWusPKzLSNg?t=388

          A bit old, couldn't find anything newer.

          • dm01 on 20/10/2018 - 20:59

            @Necron: Yeah that's nothing new - seen plenty of those, what I haven't seen is evidence that Seagate have started doing the same thing with their 2.5" drives as WD, but I have read a couple of comments from people claiming this.

        • DonWilson on 26/10/2018 - 19:59
          +1

          I took the gamble on this deal and it's a SATA drive with an adapter: https://i.imgur.com/ENxFo6r.jpg

          Gotta remove all that foil but after that it slides off easily.

  • YellowKnight on 21/10/2018 - 08:11

    Always have a good back up plan in place,

    Basically you want:

    3 copies of any data you don't want to lose.
    2 different mediums it's stored on (so 2 different drives in your computer, for example).
    1 copy kept offsite, to prevent against disaster. Let's say an asteroid strikes your house or a tornado hits it, you want a copy somewhere else so you can retrieve it.
