We all wish yo mama would put some camouflage material over that horrifying butt of hers.
(addendum: I'm sure your mother is a delightful lady)
She married a farmer. So delete 'is', put 'a' between duck and farmer, and you'll be a typo and a past tense away from something presumably quite true.
Supposedly a 9.5mm height drive internally… Good for a Seagate Satellite Goflex.
which drive is better, this one or the seagate expansion that JB were offering for $68.20 delivered?
link to the JB one please? 1tb for $68?
it was one of their cyber deals from november u believe, so long gone
I would avoid Seagate, after RMA'ing alot of 3.5 drives and my external 500gb 2 times in a very very short time span. Also you need to find out what brand of hdd is in this Touro model.
if you post again we will be force to taunt you a second time!
who negs a Monty Python quote… you should be ashamed..
The fart was too much. Disgusting. What have you been eating? Smells like you've got a dead animal up there. Like a hamster or something … mum! D=
USB3.0?
It's right there in the title, mate!
Bah, once they hit $60.40 again for a 1tb, I'll buy another.
I am outraged!
Yeah, $60.40 is the price to beat!
Why are there so many offtopic comments in this thread?
LOL, that's what I was trying to work out.
Because he asked us to be nasty :)
Here is the link to the rest of the one day deals OP if you feel like adding to the main post that would be appreciated! http://flingshot.com.au/collections/one-day-deal
I'm happy to do it, but i feel it may be frowned upon as both of those deals have been recently posted:
Samsung NP530U3C-A02AU ($698-$798 depending on configuration) & Kindle Fire HD 7" ($229)It's all good, we will be posting the next one tomorrow anyway so the link will go there. Thanks for posting this btw.
Pulling hair might be considered a dirty tactic, but nobody said anything about not pulling teats.
I am rubber, you are glue.
You're a rubber, and catch the goo.
You obviously didn't get the Monkey Island reference…
1TB Seagate USB3 portable (2.5" USB powered) is only $75 (about 71 with ING Paywave) pricematched at Officeworks.
I just walked into Officeworks and got a pricematch with the JB link and OW receipt found in this OzB deal.
Why get a lesser name for more money, especially when you have to wait for delivery?
Is that drive a 9.5mm high or 12.5mm high internal drive?
Ie: can they be taken out and used as a notebook hdd?Whole assembly is 15.5 (I'd guess 12.5).
How often is a 2.5" portable drive not permanently attached to it's case?
Putting a slow external drive into a laptop is not a great option anyway, that's more what you're do with a 3.5" external, right? (Extra drive in a desktop)
Cos Hitachis are more reliable than Seagates.
If you have reason to believe this is a Hitachi, please let people asking above know.
(Are Hitachi portables really more reliable that Seagate these days? Interesting).
HGST (formerly Hitachi - the H stands for Hitachi - was bought out by Western Digital) I personally have owned a lot of drives, and had plenty fail from a lot of manufacturers over the years and I tend to think that trying to pick a "more reliable" brand of hard drive is a little like trying to come up with a system to beat a casino, more luck than skill.
The irony is the smaller your sample size the more likely you are to see a pattern. Then cognitive biases kick in and you will ignore evidence that this pattern is wrong and give more weight to evidence that reinforces it. So when someone says for example "I never buy Seagtae" I find this to be rather amusing, as the number of drives any person would have to buy from all manufacturers in different sizes form factors etc to truly get a good idea of which manufacturer was more reliable is just way way too big. And even if you ran this test with a large enough sample size to get a good indication of reliability the data would be invalidated within a few months anyway as factory upgrades and changes, new form factors were introduced, changes in platter density etc etc. AND even if you did this on a monthly basis for every form factor, the data would still really only be useful for people buying these drives on an industrial basis as the variance in failure rates will be overcome by the fact that for the average person the sample size is usually one, maybe two, at which point randomness will overcome any actual value in the data.
In the end all drives fail if you use them long enough, which is exactly why they have a MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) spec.
Cool story br…
Jk/ makes sense. I just buy what I need when on sale. I don't worry about the brand so much ad long as it is a name I recognise.
People need to realize that the consumer hard-drives you buy regardless of which brand are all pretty much junk.
If you want good reliability and are prepared to pay buy server grade equipment.
Hitachi is not a "lesser name"
Damn saw this earlier but it is already sold out. Rookie mistake! :(
Does anyone know any other suitable vendors to get a 1TB portable drive?
Your mother wears army shorts!
