Worth paying extra for 2.5" version?
2.5" version is powered by USB so you don't need to plug it into wall, worth paying if thats important to you
You need external power for the 3.5”, 2.5” runs off just USB power. So 2.5” is far more portable
Having the 2.5" and 3.5" version, the 3.5" version is noticeably faster in sustained writes/reads
Does anyone know if this is a normal drive inside or is it a franken-drive with the USB controller soldered to the drive?
Normal 3.5" SATA HDD inside. Well it's one of the SMR hard drives.
There's nothing soldered onto the hard drive. You can easily shuck it.
I bought this for $99 2 weeks ago. Good so far.
Bought 3 for $99 each at the start of the year, shucked two, they're all still working fine.
Just bought a few from OW today - for shucking - Paid $109 each
Worth dollars more for the OW market leading returns process too (prior to shucking, not after)
Bought some start of the year when they were 99 dollars each pre covid levels I guess.
Pretty sure drives are SMR for people interested in shucking them
Can confirm, most recent three drives I’ve shucked have been SMR
Shucks
What size drive is inside these?
Full 3.5' HDD, if you need a 2.5' the top comment suggested one.
Cheers.

Why you would not go direct to Officeworks and buy it for $109 but with local over the counter warranty?.
link?
This has been under $100 quite a few times in the past and I think even under $90 a couple of times
They're still ~$100 post GST
They're still ~$70 post income tax
Mine was delivered today. Very well packed (at least 3 layers of bubble wrap around the regular packaging).
Bing Lee: $99 + $6 (shipping to Melb) - 5% (Officeworks PBG) = $99.75
Only $29 extra for the 2.5" version.
