    How does this compare to the Seagate BackupPlus 1TB?

      I personally prefer Toshiba. I've had 2 Seagate HDs from the past. One stopped working and the other one experiences connectivity issues. My Toshiba one on the other hand I've had for over 5 years although USB 2, its been reliable. Just my 2 cents.

    • scuderiarmani on 23/05/2016 - 15:01

      It's generally a much of a muchness at this sorta price range, more a brand loyalty thing, Seagate has had some bad times recently, more notably with their 2TB drives I believe. Any of them could die on your tomorrow, just as any of them could last years. Personally I'd just go the cheapest. It's a bit different when you are looking for some higher end, higher capacity drives, where the drives actually are genuinely different, and serve different purposes.

    2Tb is $117, which is a bit cheaper per Tb.

    I'm too steering clear of Seagate after having a couple die recently.

      agreed, for an extra $12 + delivery I'd buy the Western Digital over the seagate

    Its funny, everyone says they don't want Seagate, but these ones have Seagate M8 or M9. In fact most 2.5" portable drive these days use them. Expect WD, which use their own drives and don't seem to supply others.

    • Mixhael on 23/05/2016 - 17:01

      Does Toshiba not use its own drives inside its portable harddrives?

      I'm gonna humbly suggest you're wrong, as this review of a Toshiba Canvio 2tb contains a Toshiba drive inside it.

    • HoneyComb on 24/05/2016 - 08:44

      All Data On Failure rates on the 2014 and 2015 years say Toshiba has a lower fail rate than WD and Seagate.

      https://www.backblaze.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/20…

      WD has the highest fail rate and I believe the statistics because I own 4 WDs and ALL 4 have failed Within 18 months. 2 out of the 4 of the WDs I owned failed within 6 months.

    It accommodates large digital files because of its spacious storage capacity.

    Hard to argue with this as a feature.

    • Yabbie442 on 23/05/2016 - 17:02

      "The internal shock sensor and ramp loading technology protects your drive from unwanted data loss."
      As opposed to wanted data loss…

      • Mixhael on 23/05/2016 - 17:05
        +2

        There is such thing as wanted data loss.. ie when you delete files

  • nnolan on 23/05/2016 - 17:49

    Is $68 for a 1tb hard drive a good price ?

    • dingdong3000 on 23/05/2016 - 18:38

      Normal price for this is 77 bucks apparently

    • micemeat on 23/05/2016 - 20:44

      I couldn't find one cheaper

  • Mr Mrrtn on 23/05/2016 - 18:01

    Does anyone know if you can take these out of their enclosure and use in laptops?

    • micemeat on 23/05/2016 - 20:43

      Any external you can use out of encclosure :p

    • cdaddy on 23/05/2016 - 21:14

      No, it doesn't have the normal sata connections rather a usb type 3

  • simonsze on 23/05/2016 - 18:02

    I bought 3TB version for $159 delivered yesterday from Shopping Express

  • nnolan on 23/05/2016 - 18:34

  • SaveTheManuals on 23/05/2016 - 21:08

    Toshiba Canvio 2TB or Seagate Expansion 2TB?
    They're roughly the same price.

  • subywagon on 23/05/2016 - 23:35

    Would these be right for use with a Wii U?

    • youkatei on 24/05/2016 - 04:19
      +1

      I am thinking about the same thing so I did some research. Looks like it will be fine, but you need a Y cable (two usb head into whatever this hard drive uses)to power it since Wii U does not support USB 3. Or alternatively you can get a desktop harddrive, which is powered by external source

  • Waynewayne on 24/05/2016 - 07:27

    The Seagate Expansion 2tb is also available for $2 more. It has a a sata drive inside that is suitable for a ps4.

    • bassmaniac69 on 24/05/2016 - 10:18

      I saw that as well but from a previous thread ( I can;t find it ATM) I was under the impression that these were too thick for the PS4?

      • Waynewayne on 24/05/2016 - 14:02
        +1

        I put one in my PS4 last night. I can only relate from my experience though.

        • bassmaniac69 on 24/05/2016 - 15:15

          Thanks mate. Are you able to check what the manufacturing date was on the box by chance? If I do get one and it wont fit it won't be the end of the world of course, but it's better to be safe than sorry!

          And to confirm this is the one you got?

          http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/seagate-exp…

          Cheers!

        • Waynewayne on 24/05/2016 - 17:58

          Yeah that's the drive I got. The manufacture date was 9/2015.

        • bassmaniac69 on 25/05/2016 - 18:15

          @Waynewayne:

          Thanks mate, I'll go check them out tomorrow, I'll just have to make sure I get a 2015 made unit by the looks!

  • HoneyComb on 24/05/2016 - 08:38

    +1 Recommend this brand. I have owned 4 x 3.5 inch WD drives and 2 x 3.5 inch seagate and 2 x 2.5 inch seagate.

    I Switched to 2.5 inch Toshiba 2TB Canvio 12 months ago. I own 4. 2 of them Purchased from Officeworks.

    I have used 2 of these Toshibas for Heavy daily Use. Roughly 8 hours a day of daily use for laptop and haven't had any problems. Smooth sailing. I Accidentally dropped one of the drives on Tiled non-carpetted floor and it survived the drop test. I now prefer Toshiba's.

  • tuvz on 24/05/2016 - 11:18

    I always imagined that 3.5" harddirves would be more stable and long lasting than the 2.5" hardrives..i assume this isnt the case?

  • Gaz1 on 24/05/2016 - 15:21

    Does anyone know if this is a temporary special or a permanent new price?

  • Jackson on 27/05/2016 - 14:51

    I have it plugged in to a USB port on my desktop and only getting 24Mb/second, anyone have any idea why it would be so slow?

  • nnolan on 01/06/2016 - 00:54

    its transferring a movie from my laptop to the hard drive at around 90MB/s is that good or slow ?

  • nnolan on 01/06/2016 - 01:01

    and it also looks different than the add it doesnt have a matte finish is it still the same ?

  • futaris on 01/06/2016 - 13:59

    These are slightly cheaper from futu online with the 20% ebay code.

    • Josh81 on 24/06/2016 - 21:41

      Really? It's $99 on Futu, 20% off = $79.20

      • Josh81 on 25/06/2016 - 02:55

        Oh yeah, $111.20 for the 2GB.
        Worth the $5.80 savings.
        Not sure if I need the 2GB personally.
