    Won't be applicable to NSW, i don't think.
    I mean OW price beat.

    • Procyon on 31/12/2017 - 11:29

      Maybe if OP posts a photo of the Officeworks receipt?

      Why not? Worst case scenario + postage as well

    Very good price according to StaticICE.

    Normally $147 at Officeworks.

    Some of the reviews on Amazon aren't too great though.

      It might just be me, but I had more Seagate failures than WDs. So I ain't buying anymore Seagates. Storage isn't something to cheap out on. A couple of TB worth of data is more valuable than the price difference.

      • [Deactivated] on 31/12/2017 - 11:48

        I did mention the Amazon reviews. Abrupt death might be an issue…

          The thing with negative reviews is, you don't know how widespread the problem is.

          People who have a fault with it are going to let you know about it. But for people where it works fine, no issues. They aren't going to write a review to say, "it didn't die on me. It seems to do as advertised." That's boring and not telling you anything valuable. A product is meant to do as advertised. This is a problem with all user reviews. Unless someone is rapt with the product, people that don't like something are more likely to review it.

          Art is a different matter. Someone who likes a movie or game or TV show will want more people to try it. But a HDD is not art. There's not a whole lot to talk about. No one falls in love with HDDs.

          So what percentage of HDDs died? Impossible to infer. The Amazon reviews are actually 63% are 5 star. 1 star is only 22%.

        • dyziplen on 31/12/2017 - 19:12

          @lostn:

          Well, WD has 4.3 stars overall

          https://www.amazon.com/Black-Passport-Portable-External-Driv…

          Seagate has 3.9 stars overall

          https://www.amazon.com/Black-Passport-Portable-External-Driv…

          So while we can't infer the actual failure rate, it would seem WD have more favourable review overall.

        • lostn on 31/12/2017 - 19:43

          @garratt torlesse: With 12 times the amount of reviews due to its popularity.. The Seagate with 316 reviews is a small sample size.

        • dyziplen on 31/12/2017 - 20:24

          @lostn:

          Look across the different models, WD has consistently higher ratings than Seagate.

          Not sure why y'all looking at user ratings.

          This is where it's at.

        • dyziplen on 31/12/2017 - 20:48

          @AngryChicken:

          Because they are all desktop drives, we are looking at portable drives?

          The operating environments for portables varies greatly, some are rough with them, some gentle, some leave it on/attached 24/7, some connect as needed. Dramatically than desktop drives where they are typically on 24/7 in a stable environment.

        • [Deactivated] on 01/01/2018 - 08:37

          @garratt torlesse: Yeah but apart from these being 2.5" drives? Exactly, no reason.

    Can we trust Seagate again ?

      Yes Seagategate.

    • dangerdanger on 31/12/2017 - 12:36

      What was the controversy with Seagate?

      • Tyrx on 31/12/2017 - 17:58

        I think pepitovfe is referring to the incident where running the update/status software released by Seagate would cause any Samsung NVMe SSDs in the system to become bricked. The drives had to be RMA'd back to Samsung to be fixed, and people who were outside the warranty period ended up with paperweights.

      you can't trust ANY hard drive.

      everyone would do well to remember that!

  • yolow on 31/12/2017 - 11:47

    USB 3? Can it be use for an external drive with an xbox?

    • hetzjagd on 31/12/2017 - 12:57

      Product page says

      Quick Specifications

      HDD Capacity - 2TB
      Drive Type - Hard Disk Drive
      Interface Type - USB 2.0, USB 3.0

    • Dung on 31/12/2017 - 14:05

      Yep.
      Your xbox will ask if you want to use it for media/photos, or for games and apps.
      If you select games and apps, the xbox will format the external hard drive.

    Ive been running seagates for over 4 years almost daily use with no problems.

    • ozf1 on 31/12/2017 - 12:25

      Same here, well over 5 years.and a 3TB expansion which I've dropped a couple of times (not recommended), still going.

      This is a good deal for a 2TB, tempted. But I think I've got about 6 to 8 1.5 to 3TB drives… I think that's enough for now.

    Does this work as a PS4 slim internal?

    • ozzpete on 31/12/2017 - 23:30

      I wondering also, ps4 pro internal fit ? Of course would have to crack portable drive case open etc

    Just a heads up: I never had a portable Seagate fail until I bought this drive. It was dead within a week. Thankfully Officeworks replaced it without hassle and the replacement drive has been fine (for now). Didn't realise the drive had such a reputation for failure until I saw those Amazon reviews!

    • ddr0001 on 31/12/2017 - 15:47

      The Seagate slim drives are utter garbage. We sold a bunch to clients, failure rate was 80%. If you care at all about your data, you'll buy something else.

  • [Deactivated] on 31/12/2017 - 13:33

    office work will not price beat - as it is special price :( just went to essendon OW

    Is Seagate shuckable? I am told WD aren't and Toshiba are.

      Seagate mostly are.

  • ddr0001 on 31/12/2017 - 15:21

    Correction, I was referring to the Slim drive.

    Just picked it up at Officeworks Pakenham for my Xbox one s. It works well. Thanks for the tip!
