Harvey Norman have the 1TB My Passport going for $67. Under T&C's it says offer ends 17th September 2018.

Can price match with OW and should come down to $63.65.

Not sure if this is a good enough deal.

  "Price match is not a bargain" according to the rules, I believe.

      Yes, it does now, but didn't before being edited.
      All good though.

  If 1TB is all you need but OW's 3TB for $99 is so much better value.

    Only have ~280GB of photos and documents to backup so I think 1TB will be enough for me.

    Also want this particular model (and brand) given my current WD My Book 320GB from like 10 years ago is still going strong - but it's bulky and requires a separate power cord.

    So whilst I don't need to buy a portable external HDD right now, this particular drive does not seem to go below this price. I did see it drop to $49 based on OzBargain records but don't know what are the chances of that happening again.

      …you can never have enough storage :)
      you do realise that the 3TB equates to $33 per TB vs $67 for the 1TB here…thats a significant price difference!

        That's true, however the same situation happens elsewhere. Do you buy 200 pieces of X which will take you 5 years to consume instead of 20 pieces which will last you 6 months, and keep some money in your pocket, and besides the price might come down later?

        That said, I prefer to buy closer to the sweet spot for price.

  I believe for these My Passport drives you cannot recover the data (yourself) by shucking if the adaptor goes bad because there is no separate adaptor, the USB interface is on the disk PCB itself. And encrypting too. So in essence the drive has to be treated as a unit, if it goes bad, hope you had another copy of the data.

  Nothing against WD BTW, I buy their Elements series which does have the standard SATA disks and no encryption.
