Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls,
these 3TB external hard drives look a treat at $149.95 for USB 2 and $160.10 for USB 3, delivered. They sport a US power cord which can easily be plugged into a universal travel adapter or even adjusted by a quick twist with pliers. They will work on our Australian 240 volt power. Price adjusted to include shipping of US$12.95 @ AU$1.08 exchange rate.

Seagate is shipping from 3rd March. It has been posted here early Feb for AU$152 delivered, and while prices are fluctuating slightly, they are likely to only head south.

    Hardly seems worth the hassle for the Hitachi USB 2.0 when they now coming on special at only around $10 more from local suppliers. You get local warranty, proper Australian electrical approval, etc

    EG: (just expired) Seagate http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/64389

    The USB 3.0 variant sounds like a good deal.

  • Black Hole on 02/03/2012 - 13:05

    What I really want to know is what HD inside the seagate usb3 version.

  • infinity89 on 02/03/2012 - 14:14

      mmmm… toast.

  • Black Hole on 02/03/2012 - 16:33

    Looks like it has the 3TB green drive inside.

  • brent3000 on 02/03/2012 - 16:35

    Does anyone know if the warranty for the drive is the US based warranty cuz its from Amazon? Or is it the AUS warranty if claimed here?

    Sadly US drives only come with 1 Yr :/

      If you think about it really carefully, I reckon you'll be able to work it out :-)

        If not, you're a bit of a mentalist.

    Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls,

    dying time is here.

  • freedom78 on 03/03/2012 - 12:12

    I just bought one (Seagate 3tb) through checkout it worked out to $167.29 Still a good deal. Fingers crossed because I've had a bad run on Seagate over the past few years. More a WD/Samsung drive user.

    • casey2 on 03/03/2012 - 16:26

      I am currently experiencing all sorts of annoyances with my 3TB seagate. It doesn't turn itself off with the laptop like my WD used to and I'm always having to unplug it from power to reboot it. I would not recommend these for a single place of storage. It's currently my master with a back-up off it, but I will changing that shortly as I don't trust it.

  • T1OOO on 03/03/2012 - 12:30

    lol, yeah wont get damaged at all in shipping so much ill be willing to copy 3tb of stuff on it…. get a local one, you dont need usb 3 either,.. 60meg vs what 90meg of a local drive peak? not worth it really

  • hoxygt on 04/03/2012 - 19:14

    What kind of crazy business model are they operating where external drives cost LESS than bare drives? Thanks for the links and bargain - I'll get me a 3Tb and rip it out of its case :)

  • warwick108 on 05/03/2012 - 01:07

    You can't rip it out of the case, the drive has a soldered port which won't allow you to put it internally into a computer

    • hoxygt on 05/03/2012 - 01:14

      The video posted shows the Hitachi can, Ive done a WD before but cant speak for all models. Which port is soldered?
