Is red faster?
red is always faster
probably a bit easier to find anyway
Unless you buy only red items.
Thanks OP, great price. Hopefully digiDirect ships soon.
Last time I ordered a tripod and it took them 3 weeks to process the order.
Far out, I swear I bought the 1tb version last year for about this and thought it was a good price, hah. Nice find.
Tech is always like this unless there’s a natural disaster in Taiwan or similar. Could always wait for one more year.
I pulled the trigger for a 1TB SSD when it came with the Assassins Creed Valhalla code, making the drive around $130.
Now the drive sits full and rarely unused lol
It do be like that haha, I ended up with two when they were 138 and they both just sit next to the PS5 holding all of my PS4 installs, also rarely used ;.;
It wasn't a good price for a 1 TB a year ago.
I guess it depends on what time you're looking at, but this time last year in feb/march 138.57-152.10 were the cheap prices people were pretty happy about. Seeing the cheapest price 12 months ago was 138-152 for the 1tb and the cheapest price for the 2tb now being 178, seems like a good price to me.

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/683333Oh, 138.57-152.10 is nowhere near (and much lower, esp. in OzB standards) than 178.
@pizzaguy: haha yeah fair, my standards for 'about' is a bit looser i guess. something that's 2x the storage but around ~20% difference in price is 'about this' to me haha.
I own a t7 and there's an issue with some computers where these short circuit, causing PC to inactivate them while connected. Solution is to run it through other cable/adapted/hub. Lenovo customer support advised me about it after I was brushed off by sammy
Does running it through a hub affect transfer speeds?
Because I wasn't prepared for workaround, I do get slower speeds since I'm just using my monitor's USB passthrough as a hub 😂
Could probably find a better way to resolve without reducing speeds as much.
I'd be interested to see if anyone else who owns one experiences the same issue. I haven't looked into it too much after finding out it's not my new laptop's USB port failing (my initial worry)
To utilise the high speed of the T7 and not lose performance via a USB Hub, you would want to ensure it's a 10Gbps Hub. Standard Hubs are typically only 5Gbps.
Will officeworks price match?
Why not?
Don't think they have 2 tb model available.
Not the same model
@RSmith: Looks like the same model to me (MU-PC2T0T-WW shows up as T7 2TB Grey), it is just incorrectly titled by its colour (Titan Grey) rather than T7. But it is showing OOS in a lot of Sydney Officeworks stores.
Can you connect it to usb c of Android to backup directly on drive
Yes
noice
this SSD chicken game is my nice for my new PC building
it's really good time to buy SSD now
60% cheaper than 2 years ago
Are these good for 24x7 1080p cctv recording?
The 2TB is only good for about 720TB TBW. Expect it to fail or slow down after that. Hard Disks are generally better for 24/7, unless you plan on replacing it fairly regularly.
Thanks mate, I want to extend storage of my desktop to record CCTV and I know there are surveillance HDD but can't install in my Sff desktop, hence looking for a USB based external storage to use.
Starting to think my $200 for the T7 Shield 2TB wasn't that great a deal that I needed to buy it a few months in advance of receiving my car… oops.
Yup, wasn't a good deal.
Perfect timing - grabbed one thanks.
this or the rugged?
Would this be good in a pi nas set up?
Good deal.
I already have a lot of hard drives and have no need for a new one.
But this deal is tempting…What are peoples use cases for these?
I missed out on the Amazon deal. Got this one. Thanks.
Missed the Amazon so got this. Cash back and Qantas points makes it an even better deal!
Price now $298.
Red still $178
Also, now $298.
Expired quick..now to see if digi actually has stock or do we all get out of stock emails or stock delay emails
I just received an email from digidirect cancelling my order stating "typographical price error". WTF?
Same. Pricks…
Oh same thing happened to me. My order has been canceled as well. :(
Same! Not happy, DigiJan.
Order cancelled. I called it yesterday. Digi online is always so useless. Digi stores are run very differently and a lot better. Online always sells stock they don't have and delay or cancel
Yep. Cancelled here too.
Cancelled and refunded, just got the email :(
The cancellation email references the Typographical Errors section of their T&Cs.
digiDirect are completely useless, I wouldn't trust any sale they put up as they just cancel without knowledge and have terrible customer service.
Never again!
wonder how many got this deal.
so price match can be an alternative solution?
For those who prefer the red colour
