    People from this deal are going to feel ripped off.

    • CodeXD on 28/06/2015 - 11:41

      I sure do.

        Dam, that bowl of delicious rice soup I had for breakfast could have been free if I only waited a day for this deal. OzB needs a counseling hotline for moments like this.

    • WoodenSpoon on 28/06/2015 - 12:06

      I was fortunate enough to get this for $83.20 in february.

      • rumham25 on 28/06/2015 - 12:24

          So, you did some work in the JB Hi-Fi office and they reduced the price?

          Oh wait, I guess you meant the store, Officeworks

          For a minute there I thought you were an office worker

        • WoodenSpoon on 28/06/2015 - 12:58

          @nismo:
          lol wot.

      • Manh on 28/06/2015 - 15:10

        Probably last year's stock that they had left. Back in the good ol' days when the AUD was stronger. sigh

        • WoodenSpoon on 28/06/2015 - 17:04

          Not sure about that, JB had it for $149 and I got them to price match OW.

  • jamesvtre on 28/06/2015 - 12:12

    how good is this portable hard drive is it slim is this deal worth it.

    • crudman on 28/06/2015 - 13:41

      It's a good hard drive. Check the dimensions for whether it's slim enough for you. The group deal itself is not that great - it only saves $1 off their normal ebay pricing. I guess the marketing works. However at $99/$100 it will be about $20 to $30 cheaper than else where.

      Personally prefer the Ultra range (around $130 with these deals but maybe cheaper on Amazon) for the hardware based encryption. Ultra also comes with free sync software as an added bonus.

    • Grok on 28/06/2015 - 14:05

      You cannot remove the harddrive from his portable drive, it is integrated. Buy a Seagate.

      Oops this response was for the comment below.

  • LegendIsReal on 28/06/2015 - 12:47

    Does anyone know if this sort of HD would be suitable to upgrade a PS4 HD? I don't really know too much about them, so if anyone has the knowledge, please do share.

  • ilikeit on 28/06/2015 - 15:23

    Is there much of a difference between this WD HDD and the Seagate Trent86 posted? I understand the Seagate can removed from its enclosure & it's cheaper, but are there any other differences I should consider? I can pick up the Seagate from my local GG with C'n'C.

    As much as I like WD, I dislike the fact that the controller board used in the 2.5" drives has a USB interface rather than using a separate SATA->USB bridge.

    You'd think if the usb connector snaps or wears out in a 2.5" drive can buy a new 2.5" case, open the defective one up, take out the drive (SATA drive) and place it into the new enclosure, or install into a PS3/PS4 whatever.

    With WD external drives you cannot do this because the drive doesn't have a SATA connector, but USB … It keeps costs down by reducing the number of chips used and the complexity of the build, but its bad for data recovery and repairing/swapping over/re-using…

    For this reason I stopped purchasing WD external drives and I'm not sure if other manufacturers have gone down the same path? I would think as a matter of social responsibility manufacturers have a duty to ensure drives can be easily recovered by users by using standard connector interfaces rather than trying to save a few cents….

    Perhaps if companies used standard sata connectors as selling feature on the packaging? — 'Easily recover your data if your USB connector breaks' or 'Uses standard SATA->USB bridge' …. Okay on second thought most users wouldn't give a continental and would be easily confused— might as well buy 2.5" Sata and then buy a decent 2.5" case and problem solved (but pay more)
