Good price following promotion on The Good Guys. Think this is the cheapest for local supply and no fuss 3 year warranty.
MOD: Original receipt image. Price match is not a deal and should link to the store offering the price.

Is this the one from TGG that you are refering to?
http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/buyonline/Seagate_4TB_Expansio…$180
Says $219 here.
I can't see any deal either!
$169 using Dick Smith 15% valentine's day off discount
Any link to the $15% off deal? not mentioned in the email I received today, and not mentioned in the promotions page of their website?
you beat me by 3 seconds… :)
Does that mean I win?
Thanks, though the Seagate Expansion 4TB drive
http://www.dicksmith.com.au/usb-hard-drives/seagate-expansio…
shows as online only, and 15% off does not apply to the online store.
You can get the higher end version from OW Seagate Backup Plus 3TB for $139 ~ $45/TB from long long time ago. And since this one cost $45/TB and "expansion" version, terribly not very muchhh a deal.
Not sure what your point is? 4TB = $45/TB 3TB = $46.66/TB SO this deal is better than your example.
Since this deal comes down to $45/TB, you can get that kind of price range long time ago. And for additional $1.66/TB you have a higher end version. Isn't that obvious?
As said by a wise man before:
You save one dollar here. You go somewhere else and save another dollar then you have 2 dollar.
Then you go maccas and buy a cheeseburger for 2 dollar. Free meal!
They just aren't the same product!
There's a price premium on the biggest drive because you can either use 1 powerpoint/usb cable and get 3tb, or 1 powerpoint/usb cable and get 4tb. When you buy multiple drives, that's an issue.
Maybe to you they are equivalent, but to most people they are not.
Hopefully these sales are going on in a couple months time so I can claim GST back when I fly away. Last time I got them at DS for $169 and claimed back GST making them $152.
Terribly not much very English skills.
How in the hell is the Backup Plus "Higher End"? It's the same hard drive with the same spindle speed and performance.
Yes it has "Higher-End" bundled bloatware/crapware, if that's what you mean, and a FireWire socket for Mac users but other than that it's a bog standard external HDD.
Bought for $157 a few months back
A link and from where helps, not a comment I bought for xx.
Also, it didn't happen without evidence. $157 must have been an import too.

I paid $152.50. and still waiting for the price to drop to this level before buying another one.
I grabbed some from OW for that price as well, wish I had gotten more as they've never been that cheap since.
I stand corrected. Nice price, I'll join the waiting list too.
Surprised nobody has asked yet, does anyone know what drive is inside these cases?
Specifically 7200 or 5400rpm (Seagate 5700?)
It should be a ST4000DM000 Barracuda 5900 RPM drive.
Thanks :)
I have two.
Can confirm they have 5900RPM spindle speed, ST31500341AS (Barracuda 7200.11).
Burst read rates of approximately 200Mb/s, which is nothing to scoff at for a 5900RPM HDD.
The enclosure's are not too great for cooling though. Mine regularly hit 40C or higher, which I don't like but save for gutting the enclosure, there's not much I can do.
Unless I'm missing something, the ST31500341AS is a 1.5TB drive? Every 4TB Seagate case I've opened recently has definitely had a ST4000DM000 in it.
Oops. Looked at the wrong drive in HDTune.
You're correct Foobar. It's an ST4000M000-1F2168.
Except that the Barracuda 7200.11 series are 7200 RPM drives (http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_barracuda_…), and their maximum size is 1.5TB, which is the model that your serial number specifies.
Thanks for the posting advice. Deal closed from tgg so better bargaining next time.
Price matching isn't a deal in itself.
If you put that TGG have it for $180 (if that's the cheapest available locally) then mention that if you want to price match at Officeworks you could. This isn't a deal in itself.
