Can this be used as a normal Seagate Plus external drive for PC/Mac?

Shipping is free with a Free Shipster membership btw.

  From everything I have read (in about 2 minutes) it is just a standard HDD with xbox branding

    Exactly what I thought but just wanted clarification, seems to be a great price for a 4TB external drive.
- RMBC on 04/01/2018 - 17:00
  
  Given the Harvey Norman link says it includes "1xNTFS Driver for Mac", I'd say that it would be usable with Mac too

  OSx reads NTFS out of the box and can write to it if you enable it in settings.

      @lawrencium: OK so install an app. What happened to enabling it in settings?
    - jonathonsunshine on 05/01/2018 - 11:38
      
      i dunno guy. You can enable osx inbuilt ntfs write support with terminal or something but it's disabled by default cause it not guaranteed. You can just format it as journal+ or whatever if you just want a 4tb hdd to use with your Mac. Or exfat if you want more compatibilty.
      
      I dunno sweet f all about osX generally, I know i made it work on my mums though and I didn't install anything and i'm pretty sure i didn't have to use terminal. It was a switch that I flicked on.
    - paablo84 on 06/01/2018 - 01:23
      
      @muncan: it’s a native Terminal command, as the various articles state.
  - jonathonsunshine on 05/01/2018 - 11:31
    
    you can just format it anyway. I don't have a mac but it's just a hdd. Format it as HFS journaling + or whatever it is via the normal methods for that platform and it should all be good.
- AssociatedSeagateSurfer @ Harvey Norman on 02/06/2018 - 06:31
  
  Hello doweyy, yes you can. They are designed for Xbox but you can format them and then use as external storage.
Bubbleshark on 04/01/2018 - 16:57

Anyone knows if you could use it as a normal External hdd? Looks like a good price for 4gb

tempted but negative comments from Amazon worry me - enough people complained about the drive stopped working out of the blue after a few months.
- hawktalk on 04/01/2018 - 17:30
  
  I've had a few internal and external Seagate hdds fail on me to know I should avoid them. I've owned many WD drives over the last 10 years and only one has failed in that time. Luck of the draw I know…. guess I'm lucky in the boxes I've grabbed from JB and other pc stores.
  - Nousernamehere on 04/01/2018 - 22:38
    
    +3
    
    I’ve had the exact opposite to you. All the WD external drives I’ve had have randomly stop working whilst all the Seagate drives are still going. They’re both as (un)reliable as each other.
  - syousef on 05/01/2018 - 09:47
    
    +1
    
    I've had the same experience. I've wasted a ton of cash on Seagate and the last time they were reliable was when 2TB was max capacity. I still have 5 out of 6 drives on my 6.5 year old always on beast running strong…How long for I don't know but 6 years is a lot more reasonable than the 1 or 2 years I've gotten lately.
    
    Haven't had a problem with WD, but based on the reviews on Amazon and elsewehre it does seem that at least one of their portablemodels have a high failure rate. WD, HGST and Samsung are all I am willing to buy at the moment.
CheaperPlox on 04/01/2018 - 17:03

These are great! I've had the 2TB for about 3 years nearly. Never missed a beat. I swapped it out with a normal 3TB and now use the 2TB on my computer for storage, so can confirm these work as normal on mac and windows (mac needs a seagate driver- free download on website).
OverburdenedWarrior on 04/01/2018 - 17:16

Nice price! Grabbed one to replace a dying external drive.
Klang on 04/01/2018 - 17:16

Thanks OP. My WD 3tb died recently.

Very cheap especially with my gift cards from Amex deal.
- worldwidehappiness on 04/01/2018 - 23:37
  
  Your WD 3tb probably still has warranty depending where you bought it. Two or three years in Australia, I think.
  - Klang on 05/01/2018 - 03:11
    
    Thanks. I will check it out.

Nowhere near as good a deal, but HN currently has the Black 4TB Backup Plus Portable for $169. Can probably price match Officeworks to get $160.55.

fookos on 06/01/2018 - 16:39

With an external HDD on Xbox does you existing internal drive still get used for game storage or does everything revert to the external drive?
alphalpha on 06/01/2018 - 17:04

Same email. I've gambled on some pricing errors before but this one annoys me a bit. I certainly didn't purchase thinking it was a pricing error.

This one feels like the correct price was put up but they decided after the fact that they couldn't go through with the orders. A 'pricing regret', if you will, rather than a 'pricing error'.

Dunno, no way to know.
- flumpf on 06/01/2018 - 17:25
  
  Plus resorting to BS legalese mumbo jumbo and no real offer of make up for taking our money for about a week save for a weak discount on half the item.
  
  Rather poorly handled.

fookos on 06/01/2018 - 23:53

Is anyone going to take up the $99 2TB deal? For Xbox use (branded gear) I think it's a reasonable deal.

If you originally purchased the 4GB version for general use because it was cheap per GB, then there are cheaper generic storage options around.
fookos on 19/01/2018 - 21:07

Anyone still waiting on the 2TB drive from Joyce Mayne?

Absolutely terrible customer service from them. Order still sitting there to be fulfilled after 10 days… and they don't communicate when approached via their 'contact us'. Very poor form. Also reflects poorly on Harvey Norman.

  You came to the party real late but ChillBro is correct - they didn't honour the pricing error. They did, however, offer the 2TB for $99. Some took that up, including me. Not the cheapest for a 2TB, but good price for this particular drive. I liked the Xbox-styling on the drive so took them up on it, and it's now in use :)
