Do I buy one for just the sake of buying one :D
tempting isnt it :).
I got a WD 2tb interal for $95 a few months ago…. and now I can get an external for not much more!
Officeworks reduce the price to avoid price match?
Or you can add $16 and buy the USB 3.0 version

If you registered for the American Express $50 rebate, get price match from Bing Lee/Harvey Norman/Dick Smith, buy three for $97.33 each
Someone mentioned in the discussion for that deal that SmartWare now resides on a normal partition, but the closest I could find to confirmation was this WD page which suggests although SmartWare is no longer in the firmware, the VCD remains:

Can anyone who bought one of those USB 3.0 MyBook Essentials confirm what the deal is?
Not sure what you mean by VCD but my 2TB USB3.0 MyBook Essential (not Elements) had only a normal partition table with one NTFS partition and the software was just in the partition as normal files and could be used, ignored or deleted.
I raised this yesterday. so should bought it early to get price match from OW.

looks like they reduce already to avoid the price match as kctt said above.
OW is fast and smart nowyeah i went into officeworks this morning after seeing your post the other day. and to my surprise it was $98. still good. got one. :).
thanks.
:D
does anyone on this website really need another external hard drive? these seem to get posted every couple of days.
Agreed!
haha yeah so true
It seems like any post about an external hard drive regardless of the price gets about 25 positive votes!!
Why would anyone buy this instead of the USB 3.0 My Book 2tb for only $1 more ($99) ?
