    Data reliability wise this would be good or SSD,need advise as my current WD passport drive is not detected by windows after 1.5yr of use and dont know how to recover the data..

    • YousufEDGE on 04/02/2019 - 07:34

      For data reliability I would recommend you to get a good SSD.

      This is a cheap HDD and much slower than a usual SSD.

      • Enjj0y on 04/02/2019 - 07:50

        Isn't HDD is more reliable than SSD?
        SSD is way faster than HDD.

          SSD has no moving parts, so it is more likely to keep your data safe in the event you drop your laptop bag or your system gets shaken while it's operating. Most hard drives park their read/write heads when the system is off, but they are flying over the drive platter at a distance of a few nanometers when they are in operation. Besides, even parking brakes have limits. If you're rough on your equipment, SSD is recommended.

          SSD Failure rate is 0.5%
          HDD Failure rate fluctuates between 2 to 5 % (Depending on Conditions e.g drop)

            @YousufEDGE: I wouldn't count on SSD for low failure rate. Everyone's experience varies. However, I already have 4 SSDs failed, with another already have re-allocated sectors. Another really old SSD, the wear level is already shown to be in degraded status (I guess it is good the SSD maker was honest and willing to disclose that figure) - most new SSDs no longer provide this information in SMART data. So, 4 failures, 1 with increasing number of re-allocated sectors (bad sectors) despite the total write is still quite low.

            I currently have 18 SSDs active in use (counting work ones). 4 failures over (18 + 4) - that's 18% failure rate for SSDs. Trust me, I would much rather 0.5% failure rate - i.e. zero failure.

            One failed SSD was Samsung (failed in less than 12 months, very little use), Another one used Samsung flash chips. BTW, there is another one which had issues booting initially. After the reboot, it suffered a complete data loss (but the drive still reported healthy so cannot warranty it - luckily, it was a system drive).

            While SSDs are suitable for portable storage, due to no moving parts. Please… regardless of which storage type you pick, for important files, have multiple copies stored on multiple storage devices. Also, don't get too excited with mSATA and m2. Those form factors tend to cause SSDs to run at higher temperature.

          You just got the point. you can get nothing back if a SSD dead.

      You should have had a backup. No drive is immune to failure. Portables being the worst in my experience.

    It has a simple black design.

    Black is a color.

      Black is new Black 😉

      Lol I copied description from OW website.😅

    • shoppe on 04/02/2019 - 10:17

      Black is not a color, it is the absence of light. (Didn't you learn anything in art school)

      • RSmith on 04/02/2019 - 10:21

        Nope. Nothing.

        • dudeguy on 15/02/2019 - 11:14

          I guess that you went to art school in the U.S.A. because apparently you learned the U.S.A. spelling of the word “colour”.

          • RSmith on 16/02/2019 - 14:13

            @dudeguy: My phone keyboard is set to US English. That's why it's color.

      • 2023 on 05/02/2019 - 22:34

        Did people who went to art school even learn anything at art school (besides how to rack up a HECS debt)?

    3TB is much better value at <$120, if you just Google

    • jace88 on 04/02/2019 - 09:06

      I was thinking that too… but then there are some people out there who may need exactly 1TB. I have a 2TB drive hooked up to my Arlo Pro 2 (thanks OzB) but it only ever writes a few hundred GB before it cycles so I guess I can see the use of 1TB?

    • hollykryten on 04/02/2019 - 11:16

      I would rather pay $99 for the Seagate Expansion Portable 3TB at Officeworks. Cheaper than $120.

      • Braggs on 04/02/2019 - 11:42

        "$99 for the Seagate Expansion Portable 3TB at Officeworks. Cheaper than $120."
        …
        yep thats the one i went for ,a way better deal……

  • Jxdos on 04/02/2019 - 09:06

    And don't 2TB go for around $67? I don't see how this is a bargain unless the SE has some special features?

    • hollykryten on 04/02/2019 - 11:14

      2TB normally goes for around $89-100 depending on brand. For example the Seagate Expansion Portable 2TB $89 or the WD Elements SE Portable 2TB for $97 at Officeworks. For some reason the Seagate tends to be slightly cheaper than the WD. I guess Seagate is trying to buy back market share by reducing their HDD prices.

  • johnnytran on 04/02/2019 - 11:00

    I should have picked up more of those 2tb Seagate slim’s that were around $60 a couple weeks back. I don’t have to wait a year to copy stuff to them like I do with my 2tb and 4tb WD’s

    This has been at $59 every day. I bought one weeks ago from OW at this price.

  • Alaken on 04/02/2019 - 15:22

      You may have to add a delivery fee on top of that price (if you can't pick up) and possibly also credit card or Paypal payment fee.
