    Price beat at OW for $160

    • crimsondarkn on 14/07/2021 - 16:40

      I was thinking about this, but it's a different model number that OW has on their website, no? Not sure if they will still accept?

        Same model number on the OW website. You might be mistaking OW's product code, which is their own number made up to identify a product in their system with the actual model number listed under the specifications tab.

          Good call out. Thanks! I'm gonna get one from officeworks then. Cheers mate

      Well product code is different but they won't notice or care likely

  • bsd on 14/07/2021 - 16:57

    same part number - WDBPKJ0050BBK-WESN

    This is better. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/seagate-expansion-portabl…
    Cheaper and shuckable. WD not shuckable.

    • PoRKroLL on 14/07/2021 - 17:03

      Free delivery too

      • RocketSwitch on 14/07/2021 - 18:22

        How?

        • PoRKroLL on 14/07/2021 - 18:35

          Free express delivery though I'm in Sydney.. most likely why..

          If Melb goes in lockdown you might get free delivery too :)

      different use case, the passports are smaller and require no external power, this is an on the go no fuss 5TB backup
      the one you linked is a sit it on your shelf backup (or shuck it)

      • UNFKNBLVBL on 14/07/2021 - 17:14

        nevermind I was wrong, the seagate is portable too and looks like you can shuck some of the seagate 2.5 drives?

    • RedHab on 14/07/2021 - 17:25

      That Seagate drive has shingles. Not sure about the WD.

      • itsme56 on 14/07/2021 - 17:36

        Both do, all 2.5" over 1TB from all manufacturers are SMR.

      • netsurfer on 14/07/2021 - 17:40

        WD also SMR. At this storage size and 2.5", they are all SMR.

    • hollykryten on 15/07/2021 - 10:46

      That's although an SMR hard drive. If you're fine with that no problems.

      • itsme56 on 15/07/2021 - 11:15

        So is the drive in OP…

        • hollykryten on 19/07/2021 - 10:41

          Yeah the only difference is you can actually shuck the Seagate portable hard drives. Can't say the same for the WD portable hard drives as the USB port is directly soldiered onto the internal hard drive.

    I have just over 1TB of photos, videos etc.
    Should I go this route or would cloud storage be a better option?

  • oadvdotcom on 14/07/2021 - 17:24

    Last time I bought Seagate desktop version portable 4TB for $99, that's cheaper (/TB) than this?

    • lawyerz on 14/07/2021 - 17:48

      desktop version… but portable… which is it??

      there was that one deal that was pretty good but sold out quickly…

    • mrshorty on 14/07/2021 - 17:53

      waiting for a deal like this b4 i pull the trigger

  • slick7 on 14/07/2021 - 18:20

    desktop or portable (portable is usually single USB cable to get power while desktop is a larger physical size drive (3.5 vs 2.5) and it needs power + usb cables but you can get much larger capacity

    edit: @oadvdotcom - this was a reply to your post - ooops

    If you can't be bothered to do a pricematch with OW, for just 161.98$ there is a WD 5TB with similar specs at amazon

    https://www.amazon.com.au/Western-Digital-Elements-Portable-…

    • crimsondarkn on 14/07/2021 - 23:03

      Heard My Passport quality is better than Elements?

      • mixtape on 14/07/2021 - 23:06

        I think the difference is the warranty: elements is 2yr and my passport 3yr

    • shaiguy on 14/07/2021 - 23:26

      Funnily enough if you buy it from the US store (via the Australian Amazon store) it comes down to A$154.23 (delivery a bit longer). Note, looks like OW is sold out for this.

    • Italkdigital on 15/07/2021 - 02:20

      Is this on Amazon the Portable Hard Drive, 5 TB, WDBU6Y0050BBK-WESN shuckable?

      To many bad stories about Seagate drives why I prefer WD drives, though usually I've only purchased 3.5inch drives when it comes too large capacity drives over 5gb, I'm guessing 2.5 inch size drives would be slower over there 3.5 inch size counterparts or I'm guessing wrong? Anyone comment much appreciated as eagar too buy, maybe 2 👍😁

      • hollykryten on 15/07/2021 - 10:47

        WD portable hard drives are not shuckable. I believe the USB port is soldered onto the internal drive. There is no SATA connector.

  • notoriousft on 15/07/2021 - 01:23

    It's 177.39 now.
