    Decent price, but for that price I'd expect at least a 5tb hdd.

    What's inside?

    I picked up the 5TB version at the end of June for $162.67 from amazon, if you can hold off I'm sure a better deal will pop up.

    Can you shuck these as I'm looking for 1 for my Nas Drive, also are these 3.5" Drives ?

    • Caped Baldy on 07/08/2020 - 14:47

      Nope, 2.5" drives. WD often solder the interface for their smaller drives and possibly some 3.5" drives.

      You need to be careful as some drives are SMR rather than CMR.

      what's the difference between 'My Passport' and 'Elements'

      • XCelR8 on 07/08/2020 - 15:17

        WD Elements is basic drive and doesn't come with any fancy software with it. … While WD Passport comes with WD Backup software & encryption of drive. It also comes with 256bit AES hardware encryption.

  • gg99 on 07/08/2020 - 15:09

    those have been as low as $96 in the past. Several times in the $125-130 ball park. Definitely not a deal

      That's what I was thinking… could've sworn I've seen these things on sale at Officeworks and the like for similar money, but may have been different brands/models as I tend to think of these portable USB hard drives as commoditised goods seeing that there are no major performance/reliability variations between the 2.5" external HDDs, and the proprietary encryption/backup software isn't usually worth using vs other free or Windows built in features.

    Is this a bargain because it is WD?

    Because you can get Toshiba cheaper ($149) in officeworks:

    Is Toshiba a bad drive?

    • UberIsCool on 07/08/2020 - 15:53

      I switched to Toshiba portable drives about 10 years ago, really reliable, but I think I like the idea of smaller drives x more.

      Toshibas are perfectly fine.

      Those and Seagates are usually the best $/Tb, and almost always available at Officeworks nationwide.

      The 3Tb Seagate portables for $99 are my yardstick for value; I'm not interested in most HDD deals unless they're under $33 per Tb.

      i have a 4TB Canvio. Its speed is erratic.

      At first I was getting 140MB/s writes and I was really happy, and later it varied to as low as 4MB/s. Yes it's that bad. I think it depends on the region of the platter it is writing to, but it drops below USB2 speeds at times.

      I would avoid.

  • UberIsCool on 07/08/2020 - 21:56

    What about this Seagate 4tb at bing lee for $142?
