Officeworks has dropped the price of these again, might be able to snag one if you weren't swayed by the Amazon/JB pricing.

Seems to be clearance stock with pickup only but looks to be a few dotted around at various stores.

Does not appear to be in stock in some states.

    It has a durable design and can withstand a 1.98 metre drop.

    Don't you dare try to drop it from 2 meters though.

      i have (and do) toss around my T5 and she's still going strong after ~8 Months. I know its never as strong as manufacturers suggest, but she's pretty sturdy

      • Icecold5000 on 06/05/2020 - 13:36

        Would you buy one of these over a T5?

        • ExtraSalt on 06/05/2020 - 14:42

          I probably wouldn't purely base on how happy I am with my T5 but 1tb for 139 is a pretty solid deal. The SanDisk one sits in a rugged rubber housing so thatd be solid as well for the right price but ye WDs in general have not been kind to me in the past so my view would be kinda bias.

      In fairness 99.9% of the people are under 2 metres in height.

    • Yakuza85 on 06/05/2020 - 11:20

        Should be but WD has soldered drives to the usb interface previously.

        Edit: appears to mostly be 2.5" not 3.5" that are soldered by WD

      • inherentchoice on 06/05/2020 - 12:58

        Nope. Looks like the 2015 version of this had integrated USB interface, NOT SATA…

      But why bother (and void the warranty) when you can get a 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD for few dollars more ? I've seen them sell for as low as $125 recently.

          Can't find a cheaper deal right now. Something like a Crucial BX500 1TB can be bought for $158 now. Found this expired link from a month ago for the same drive for $140.

      appears to be an m.2 on a board based on 512gb model

      edit: other tech review pages are confirming a m.2 form factor.

      • mixn on 06/05/2020 - 17:54

        Definitely m.2 - the entire thing is half the size of a 2.5" SSD

        • imcold on 06/05/2020 - 19:49

          I would say this office works deal is kind of a similar deal.. you have to be very lucky to snag one. I guess I paid too much for my 500gb T5 about 7 months ago.

          I have formatted it to 2 partition fat32 and nfts so I can get write/delete to fat32 and read 4.5gig+ files on nfts. Works like a charm on Android.

        Yeah I tried to call on my way there too to check if there’s stock but no answer. Sorry to be that customer in store 😂 cheers!

  • Porker on 06/05/2020 - 11:55

    Anyone know if there is a 'buffer' between the OW online orders and what is actually at the store?

    Eg. some shops will have exactly online what is available at the shop shelf - annoying because if you buy online, in the time it takes for staff to go get it, a customer in the store may purchase it.

    On the other hand, some other shops have a buffer to exactly prevent this, eg. their online stock goes to zero when only 2 left on the shelf.

    I have a confirmation email of my order, but no collection confirmation yet (hopefully) - I've tried ringing a few stores to confirm the above.

    • nosrad on 06/05/2020 - 11:58

      The actual SSDs are not on the shelf, only empty display boxes. They are behind the counter. But I don't think the staff checks the stock level before grabbing them if anyone shows up.

      • Porker on 06/05/2020 - 12:00

        Finally got through to the store and they said that although my online order is there, the item has been set aside for a phone hold/request. So they prioritise the phone hold over the online order confirmation.

        • nosrad on 06/05/2020 - 12:01

          Did they mention what's gonna happen to your order then?

          • Porker on 06/05/2020 - 12:17
            +1

            @nosrad: Just got off phone with OW head office (maybe?) - basically, the store told me they'd hold the phone order over the online order and gave me a number to call to check warehouse stock. There's no more stock in the warehouse.

            I queried the whole physical vs online purchase and consultant said that something went wrong with the order, as my online order should've only gone through (even with store pick up) if there was stock in the warehouse when there was none.

            I didn't question it further because she did say that the item wasn't a clearance or end-of-stock line, such that they'll get more in in a few weeks when re-stock occurs.

            I have just now received an SMS saying that my order has been delayed and to refer to email which hasn't arrived yet.

            • dyziplen on 06/05/2020 - 12:29

              @Porker: It shouldn't be end of line, but I think it's a price error. They had 139 for both 1tb and 256gb.

            • JaeTee on 06/05/2020 - 15:55

              @Porker: I have the same email and the SMS came after that. Both SMS and email say the same thing. The only thing extra in the email is a Track button which is no different from keying in your order number to the tracking site : https://www.officeworks.com.au/information/track-your-order

  • krammis76 on 06/05/2020 - 11:56

    So i did get a text saying that my click and collect order is ready at officeworks. But the text said that for pickup details i should refer to the email that they sent. But i didn't get an email. Usually i get both at the same time. Hopefully there's no issue there and i'm able to pick it up. Anyone else that got click and collect get the email as well?
