    Good deal but I only want to spend $50 on a 1TB portable.

    How long do you reckon?

        Hitachi has better reliability than Seagate. http://blog.backblaze.com/2014/01/21/what-hard-drive-should-…

        • tonester on 17/02/2014 - 13:58

          thanks…

          It looks like exactly one model/size of Seagate had a high failure rate, and the rest did not.

          note:

          What Drives Is Backblaze Buying Now?

          We are focusing on 4TB drives for new pods. For these, our current favorite is the Seagate Desktop HDD.15 (ST4000DM000).

          also:

          Hitachi’s 2.5″ hard drive business went to Western Digital, while the 3.5″ hard drive business went to Toshiba.

          :)

          Hitachi’s 2.5″ hard drive business went to Western Digital, while the 3.5″ hard drive business went to Toshiba.

          So that means we should buy Hitachi's 2.5" drives now, before the product lines fully merge?

          Hitachi and Toshiba 3.5" drives are still different now too. They haven't merged like IBM and Hitachi back in the day.

        • hellbound on 17/02/2014 - 16:58

          It's strange, the hitachi 3.5" drives I bought on friday have the "HGST - A Western Digital Company" logo printed on them which I thought was odd.

    Anyone know if the drive would fit inside a Macbook Pro 13" (2011)? Seems like this is a fair bit cheaper than a 1.5Tb from MSY…

  • abacus on 17/02/2014 - 14:01

    Cheap, $67 per Tb. 1Tb Seagates were $97 a couple of days ago. Now $89.

  • Fobsessive on 17/02/2014 - 22:40

    Awesome price for 1.5TB. I got my 1TB Seagate for $89 mid-2013 and priced even rose after that. For just $10 more another 0.5TB could've been bought…

  • backslashio on 18/02/2014 - 00:30

    Got my 1TB model for $79 last year, this is a good price :) I like the subtle power light too

  • tomwood on 18/02/2014 - 04:13

    Not listed on Seagate's site, or even elsewhere on the internet.
    An Officeworks exclusive? Or just new stock..?

  • spikez on 18/02/2014 - 08:08

    I got the 1.5tb seagate for $69 at jb in 2011. Anyone seen the price so cheap since?

    • Eivad on 18/02/2014 - 08:14

      2011? Are you sure it was portable (2.5")?

    • tomwood on 18/02/2014 - 15:06

      probably was, but an older model

    • hellbound on 18/02/2014 - 16:43

      Even pre-flood prices weren't that low.
      Best JB deal of 2011 for portable hdds that I could find
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/41877
      Which was a pricing error.

    Yes portable, I thought it was a sign of things to come. Instead it was a once off. The seagate is a bit sensitive to movement compared to my ac powered wd 1tb but still good on daily usage with videos for the last 2yrs.

  • Utopian on 18/02/2014 - 09:56

    Was just comparing two hdds, and showing someone the difference between design of portable vs desktop.
    (g force):
    3tb desktop
    Operating Shock (Read) 65G, Non-operating Shock 250G
    2tb portable
    Operating Shock (Read) 300G, Non-operating Shock 650G

  • Foma2 on 18/02/2014 - 10:15

    Does anyone know if it has a usb soldered to the board OR via a sata port ?
    I would like to take it out of the case and use it as an internal disk in my laptop.

  • nostril on 18/02/2014 - 19:08

    Got one, thanks OP.

  • djlech on 19/02/2014 - 15:47

    Same here, thanks OP.
