First time i've seen a 2tb USB 3.0 hard drive for this price. Only downside is this will come with a US plug, so an adapter will be needed!

$116.21 ($78.15 + $38.06) including shipping using Amazon's Currency Converter to charge in AUD).
I charged it as USD to my 28 degrees card so it'll probably end up more like $112.41 (US$79.99 + US$38.96 = US$118.95 @ $1.058 USD/AUD Conversion at time of posting)

First post, so please be nice!

  Officeworks have had their 2Tb Western Digital My Books at $114 for a while now. These support USB3.0 and won't require importing.

  From the item comments:

  "I just realized that this external HDD has no power switch."

  Which would annoy me a bit.
  Good price, shame the shipping is so high. $38 from the US seems a bit pricey, surely they could do better.

  hmm i bought this with a kindle and it ended up being $313.94:
  Item(s) Subtotal: US$268.99 ($79.99 for the hard drive + 189.00 for the kindle)
  Shipping & Handling: US$44.95
  Total: US$313.94

  Not sure why the shipping is so expensive for just the hard drive alone.
  Kindle only = USD 189.00 + USD 20.98 = USD 209.98
  Hard Drive only = USD 79.99 + USD 38.96 = USD 118.95
  If bought seperately = $328.93 meaning $15 more expensive if you were to order them seperately.

  now im thinking whether to cancel my order and get a local one from OW instead!
