This is unshuckable.

Best deal for 4TB portable HDD right now with free delivery.

Edit - free delivery is for everyone not just Prime members because item is over $39. Thanks bird380 and GordonR for pointing this out.

Also, AU stock so you don't have to wait for delivery from UK or US.

Don't forget Cashrewards.

Other slightly cheaper deals exist if you are able to pick up. For eg, at PC Byte if you can pick up at Auburn store: https://www.pcbyte.com.au/store/product/seagate-backup-plus-…

$125 + $9.90 delivery, also doesn't accept credit cards, also 1% surcharge if paying with PayPal or Zip Pay… so Amazon deal much better if you can't pick up.

Yes, there have been under-$100 deals on 4TB and 5TB drives but I have never been lucky enough to get them. They are out of stock or expire quickly.

    Can this be price matched at Officeworks?

    • FireRunner on 01/12/2020 - 11:10

      If they have the same model then yes.

      • nickj on 01/12/2020 - 11:55

        It's a different model number:
        WDBJRT0040BBK-WESN for Officeworks.
        WDBU6Y0040BBK-WESN for Amazon.
        Quite similar - just the 4th, 5th, and 6th characters are different, but that's enough.
        The position of the "WD" logo is also different (middle of the case for Officeworks, at the top for Amazon).

        • FireRunner on 01/12/2020 - 12:00

          Ok, then probably no. You could try your luck, staff might not be able to tell the difference

            @FireRunner: Staff sometimes don't check hard enough. I recently got a laptop price beat after the laptop price had been matched with the competitor. There were 2 models, one with an "i" in it, one without but otherwise identical. They would have been in their right to tell me "no" but they didn't notice the different letter on their online site which hadn't been price reduced yet (it was during checkout!) and honoured a price match on a wrong product.

    Cashrewards & ShopBack 4% on Pc at the moment too, if I’m reading them right. Thanks op.

  • lyonesse9 on 01/12/2020 - 11:09

    Will this suitable for PS4 Pro?

    • FireRunner on 01/12/2020 - 11:11

      External drive? Yes
      Replace internal drive? No, it’s not shuckable

      The Seagate's are shuckable in the 2.5"

      • Caped Baldy on 01/12/2020 - 11:38

        Isn't drive thickness a concern?

        I remember it being a consideration for the normal ps4 when I did it a few years back.

  • nsavi on 01/12/2020 - 11:14

    Any views on this? one review on Amazon says "this one had almost a full TB missing"

    • mrhashish on 01/12/2020 - 11:19
      +2

      Full terabyte missing would suggest a platter/head for 1 of the shingled platters is not working. Easier to tell on desktop drives, if it's not a thin portable then it will be 500gb plates or they are just nub n consider the 280ish gb lost from NTFS formatting almost a full terabyte lol

      -edit lol just read the review your referencing guy doesn't know much about computers, it's clearly either in need of an rma or he's formatted multiple positions. His Seagate drives will never have "3.9" terabytes when formatted under windows.

      That is one review out of almost 100,000. you'd expect 300 GB or so to be missing also

    Says free delivery for me (not a Prime member).

    • bird380 on 01/12/2020 - 11:18
      +2

      Yes, because it’s over $39

      • GordonR on 01/12/2020 - 11:29
        +1

        Yep, but I just wondered why OP specifically said “for Prime members”.

        • johnwickspuppy on 01/12/2020 - 11:57
          +1

          I am Prime member and this is a Prime product so I had no idea about the free delivery for over $39 for non-Prime members. I'll update this now.

    Seagate 4TB has been sitting around this price on Amazon for days, I've seen it in my wishlist but I wasn't sure if it was a bargain price. WD in my opinion is better.
    Plus over black Friday, there was multiple 10%+ cashbacks.

    • Switchblade88 on 01/12/2020 - 11:31

      Seagate portables are shuckable, WDs are NOT.

      Doesn't matter when they work, but if you snap off the internal USB header then there's little avenue for recovery with a WD drive. So I disagree that they're better

      • Phesto on 01/12/2020 - 11:41

        do you know what model is the best buy for a 4/5tb seagate atm? just for backups

        • Switchblade88 on 01/12/2020 - 11:47

          No idea at the moment - they're usually a very similar price most places. Officeworks used to have them RRP at a reasonable price.

          I've moved back to 3.5" drives with >12Tb sizes as I need the capacity and speed (250mb/s is about double the portable drives' max).

          • Click_It on 01/12/2020 - 12:11

            @Switchblade88: Also 2.5" drives are EOL. No manufacturer are making larger capacities. The buck stops at 5TB. Nothing since 2016, almost 5 years dead now.

            I'm surprised nobody anywhere on the internet is talking about this. Not saying it's a reason not to buy, but it is interesting to know.

            • [Deactivated] on 01/12/2020 - 12:36
              +1

              @Click_It: 2.5" HDDs might be but the form factor will continue with SSDs. There's no real market for larger capacity 2.5" HDDs with almost no new laptops using them anymore.

              • Click_It on 01/12/2020 - 12:54

                @[Deactivated]: Agreed, you are right. It's a shame to see a technology end but such is the price of advancement, lose hdds, gain SSDs, is a win overall… Unlike the 1.8" and other victims before it, at least 2.5" will live on in SSD's like you said.

    Pulled the trigger, same as OP, every time I miss out on a crazy good deal, thanks!

  • DonWilson on 01/12/2020 - 13:31

    In stock, Prime, sold from Amazon AU… takes 2 weeks to deliver. Sus.

    • vsquared on 01/12/2020 - 18:17

      Mine says its coming in 2 days.

  • johnwickspuppy on 01/12/2020 - 13:41

    AU stock must have sold out. Product page now shows cheaper price $120.68 but from Amazon US so longer delivery (22 - 24 Dec).

  • Brisbane1 on 01/12/2020 - 17:38

    only $10 cheaper than OW

  • DanielR on 01/12/2020 - 20:18

    Can this be used with PS3 FAT32?
