On Amazon.com.au site, though shipped from international sellers.
Delivery is $9.75, though you get free delivery if you sign up to prime (first month free).

In my opinion not a bad price, so get it in before GST hits :)

Other colours available:
Black: $137.68 + 9.75 delivery
Blue $139.93 + 8.96 delivery
Red $163.81 + 9.95 delivery

Who knew that changing the colour affects the shipping costs! Transport people must really hate red!

    Are you sure Prime free shipping applies? I thought it's only apply for shipment from Amazon AU including FBA related items, not for that item from Amazon US as third party seller?

    • bargainshooter on 23/06/2018 - 21:25

      AU Prime includes free shipping for goods sold by Amazon US as the third party for orders > $49.

      • Rialonda on 23/06/2018 - 22:50

        Yup, free shipping does apply in this case.

        On a related note, I also found that if I added multiple units to the cart without amazon prime, you only pay shipping once.

      • foxmulder on 23/06/2018 - 23:06

        Thanks. I confirm this is written in the prime benefits. May sign up for Prime after all :)

    Looks good

  • netsurfer on 23/06/2018 - 22:50

    Pretty much all portable 4TB hard drives are hybrid SMR ones. There is a portion which is CMR (to store commonly used files) and a larger portion to store other data in SMR manner.

    • King Tightarse on 24/06/2018 - 09:50

      Just 4TB and above?
      I havent been keeping up with this - what are the pros/cons?

  • Benjkmv on 23/06/2018 - 22:54

    Can this be used for MacOs? for write?

      All HDDs can be. Worse case you just need to format it with disk utility first.

    • Agret on 24/06/2018 - 09:50

      Format it as exfat and you can read/write on OSX and Windows

    • Benjkmv on 24/06/2018 - 12:09

      Thanks, this helps a lot,

  • Elpres on 24/06/2018 - 00:02

    Shuckable?

    • Maverick-au on 24/06/2018 - 04:32

      Yes

    • c0balt on 24/06/2018 - 11:29

      What's the point? They are too thick to put into any laptop?

      • Jugganautx on 24/06/2018 - 15:09

        Desktops do exist too.

        • c0balt on 24/06/2018 - 15:57

          This drive is slower + more expensive than 3.5" desktop 4TB HDDs & you lose the warranty on the drive when you shuck it.

        • nmartin84 on 24/06/2018 - 17:04

          @c0balt: You don't lose the warranty on a drive when you shuck it. The manufacturers might try and deny you but Australian consumer law is quite clear on the matter, and this deal is Amazon AU.

        • Smigit on 24/06/2018 - 22:56

          @c0balt: I have a case that has space at the base of the case for ether 3x2.5” drives or 2x3.5” ones. This would be relatively appealing in that space given I have other 2.5” ones I’ve pulled from laptops. Height isn’t an issue and I have 5x 3.5” drives in the driver bay.

  • daft009 on 24/06/2018 - 07:14

    I have one of these to use as a backup from my synology NAS.
    cant figure it out as havent had time but this drive seems to go to sleep mode before the backup job is complete.

    any ideas?

      I don't have a technical answer/solution that answers your specific issue. Buuuuut;

      There's programs you can use to alter how long the drive will stay spun up (sleep/idle time). Official ones made by the manufacturers.

      You could try that and see if it would help.

      • daft009 on 24/06/2018 - 10:41

        Thanks buddy will give it a go shortly

      • daft009 on 24/06/2018 - 22:29

        gave it a go, that tool can't even find the drive. even though windows and other program see it fine.

        • Azmunga on 26/06/2018 - 17:52

          Well that sucks.

          I don't know what to tell you. I just tested it with a 5tb Seagate Backup Plus of mine (on Windows 10) to see and it works fine.

    Can I use this for my Tv recording

  • NightElfHunter on 24/06/2018 - 15:39

    Just bought a blue one with free Prime shipping.

    Now I just have to remember to cancel Prime after free 30-day trial otherwise they start charging $4.95/month.

    • potatoislife on 24/06/2018 - 17:09

      Just cancel it now. You can still use it for 30 days

  • NightElfHunter on 09/07/2018 - 15:03

    I received this drive this morning. Transferred 220gb to it from my other external drive and it took 4 hours! The transfer speed was 15.6mb/s. Anyone else getting similiar speeds? That's USB1.0 levels, even though my computer only has usb 2/3 ports!

    • NightElfHunter on 06/08/2018 - 20:51

      Ok, I bought a USB 3.0 Hub, and connected the seagate 4tb drive and the Toshiba 1 tb drive to it. I then transferred large files from the toshiba to the seagate, and the transfer speed was as high as 100 mb/sec. So it was the USB port on my computer that was slow.
