      C'mon guys, look at the picture. It's a big clue. Sea + gate.

      But of course they are not obliged to ship you SG. I have no idea whether this SG is any good. Have enough storage to last me a while.

        I didn't even notice the image, the silhouette is also that of a seagate.

    In dollars per gig, the 1.5TB from the above deal is probably still the best at the moment. Ten bucks more than this deal for half as much storage again.

  • Naww, I did a quick search and couldn't find any cheaper. Sorry guys, ignore this then. :(

      No one has negged, this isn't a bad deal, it's just not the best deal :)

      Leave it up, see what the punters make of it.

    • Shopbot & Static ice are your friends in times of need.

    cotd + "mystery brand" = disaster?

    maybe it's "tancel" brand :)

      tempted to neg deal just on this very valid point… but happy to abstain for the benefit of those shoppers who dont have a pc store nearby.

      the fact it includes delivery is a positive, but you can buy cheaper if you pick up locally and also confirm the brand you are buying and associated warranty (3yr WD, 1yr Seagate etc).

    Western Digital My Passport 1 TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - WDBBEP0010BBK-NESN (Black) $100.02 incl del from Amazon.com

    • Even cheaper if you switch to US$, should be around AU$98. These are excellent drives too, I've got a few including the 2TB version, you can use a Micro USB lead for USB2 and it's very fast even at USB2 speeds.

      • 3yrs warranty if you buy it locally however.

      • Can you explain how its fast at USB2 instead of just USB2 speeds?

        • +1

          USB 3.0 devices tend to be around 10% faster in USB 2.0 ports than 2.0 devices would be. You would of course be best to use it in a 3.0 port no question.

        • Gotta love 'mystery brand' sales.

          I have found USB3 to be 50% faster in a USB3 port than USB 2.

        • 10%? It's 480mbps vs 5gbps of usb3.0. With an ssd in an external enclosure, you can easily see 450-490MB/sec.

          Boils down to the targets speed (whether it's mechanical/flash) and the hosts speed. Usb3 removes the transfer connections bottleneck.

    High price.

    Without even trying to find a bargain, here's Seagate for $102… http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SEAGATE-1TB-/140784954614

      BZZZT. It's a desktop, which means it's 3.5" - this bargain is for portable 2.5". Try again.

      Anticipating that someone would do this, the OP even said -

      This is a 2.5" Portable USB3.0 1TB External Drive, keep that in mind that it's 2.5" when you're trying to out bargain me as I know ozbargainers do. :P

    Where is QQ with the special OzB code?

  • FWIW, last time this was on, it was a Seagate.

  • If people don't like dealing with COTD and their 'mystery brand' business, Officeworks is pretty competitive.

    $129 for Toshiba, immediate pick up in store.

  • Confirmed? It's the Seagate STAX1000202.

    Notice the same dimensions: http://masterhdd.ru/hdd/seagate/78-seagate-stax1000202.html

  • I'd just wait for Bing Lee to do their 3tb for $150 special again (at 50c a GB, why not?)

  • Those are full sized externals (ie 3.5inch with external brick) where these are 2.5 inch drives that are USB powered (so much more portable)
