Price drop on Western Digital My Passport 4TB from Amazon AU, black colour only with builtin 256 bit AES encryption (hardware)
Limit 1 per account
CamelCamelCamel.
Most, if not all the orders were cancelled though…
weren't all of those orders cancelled?
No, I got one for $62.78 (shipped today).
Lucky you, congrats!

Do you own a Delorean to travel back in time to buy that?
with builtin 256 bit AES encryption (hardware)
What does that mean? Can I just format it to get rid of any default crap and use it as a normal external HDD for files or for my Xbox?
Also seems to be limited to 1 per customer, it won't let me proceed with more than 1.
AES-256 is a file encryption standard used (in this case) when you decide to password protect the drive to lock important files.
So I can use it just normally for files or my Xbox for games if I don't password protect it?
You are correct.
Thanks, had been waiting for ages for this to store my ps4 games! not as good as a $100 a few years back, but i guess the way prices have increased this is the new $100 for 4TB deal.
What’s the difference between this and Western Digital Elements?
I believe this has built in hardware encryption while the WD Elements doesn't.
I currently use a 2TB WD Portable hard drive for my Xbox saved data - would I be able to transfer all this data across to this 4TB and use it on my Xbox Series X?
yeah you could assuming you know how to do this, quite simple, if your use a specialised tool like clonezilla, or other specialized apps you'll have to get one. My advise is do a google! This is ozBargain not ozXboxTechSupport.
Yep, can be done on Xbox via settings. Plug both in and move from one to another.
