No problem. What's the final price that you paid?
$107.50 delivered for the black coloured one & 1% cashback with cashrewards
Great price - any ideas if this is an SMR drive?
Great price - some might prefer to buy with in Australia though since it has 3-year warranty here and only 1-year US warranty I think.
being a Seagate 1 year is plenty of time for it to fail on you lol.
Yeah but usually the replacement will only have warranty until the end of the original year - at least in AUS you get 3 years of hard drives.
Thanks OP. Final price for me was $106.00 (inc GST) delivered to QLD.
Its Seagate so pass..
I've had more failures with WD
Why the neg for that comment? I've had more failures with WD and you can't shuck the portables AFIK.
WD once failed on me and it was so painful to lose all the data! Is there anything that can be done?
You can take it to a data recovery specialist and pay a couple hundred dollars to get your data.
The other option is to treat any data you only have one copy of as lost already, you should really have at least 2 copies of anything important. Office 365 is great value for 1TB of cloud storage.
keep at least 3 copies of anything you wish to consider "safe" and even then that's the BARE minimum.
EDIT: and don't buy these trash hard drives with integrated SATA controllers.
Have no idea what that means and why they are not good
if the sata controller gets fked up (part that connects the usb to hard drive), even though the hard drive is fine you wont be able to access it.
@mrmc: They haven't done SATA controller encryption for years but avoid WD portable drives since the USB connector is soldered onto the drive
Is this one of those drives ?
Sorry, wrong post… Can you delete comments?
@Punkboy: Yes just edit & delete all the text in your comment and put the word "delete" and the site will give you a link to remove it
Not a bad deal thanks heaps!
Thanks OP! Been waiting on a good deal for these. Paid $106 to metro sydney.
For people who wants WD instead can buy it here $118.8 (with cashrewards) or $105 (with amex deal $15 off $100 + cashrewards)
https://www.amazon.com.au/WD-Passport-Portable-Drive-WDBYFT0…Don't get WD portable drives. If you open the casing the USB connector is soldered onto the drive so if something goes wrong you can't directly plug it into a desktop to recover the data.
The Seagate & Toshiba drives have a regular SATA connector with USB adaptor plugged in so you can just unplug it and use the SATA directly into your PC for recovery.
Thanks, I hope the drive will last for sometimes. I don't use it much anyway.
Seems the price has gone up to 137.50 (inc gst).
Have you apply the NEWEGG2018AUS promo code? 😄
I see, 107 is for the first one. I wanted two. But I think US is too far away for warranty and posting. I dropped one from 50cm and killed it.
looks like their exchange rate changed. I only paid $106 at the end.
Got one, thanks OP.
Thanks Op, I had been eyeing off a 2tb version, but for $20 more, why not double up!
It's not the same drive.
Oops! :-)
Deal is gone now. They've disabled the code on this item - "Error The item(s) in your shopping cart does not qualify for the discount with the promo code NEWEGG2018AUS you've entered. Please check again or contact customer service."
Just ordered one without any issues. Thanks
I just ordered one too without any issues for AUD 107.10 to Melbourne. Thanks for posting.
Wow, thanks OP!
