Also, oddly enough the 1TB version is on rollback for £39 which is more expensive

link please

Just paid £60 for one from Amazon :/

Can see these really coming down now with the prices of the SSD's coming down as they are a real advantage in laptops using less power and the weight.

Still hot for the size to price though.

None in mine.

OP .. your current Deal reminds me a little bit of this previous (but since/now expired) Deal here too:

WD 2TB Berry My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBBKD0020BBY-EESN Fulfilled by Amazon £49.59

Cheap, &/or cheaper prices ..... hmmmmmmmmm, lol. :-)

Looks like you posted a photo, any idea how we can view that photo enlarged? Clicking the photo just goes to asda.com

not in two of my local large stores...

Got one. Label on shelf said £72 still. But a price check showed it as £38.

Ahhh this is what I've been looking for, heatttt!! I don't know whether to call stores or just start hunting, there's probably no chance of finding one though :disappointed:

Very rarely find these Asda deals. Very store specific (or very limited at least).

None in Coventry, Walsgrave.

Picked one up from Wigan Robin Park at lunch today. None on the shelves but have 3 of the 2tb drives in the stock room so just ask. Heat added.

Can confirm I tried to get one in Harrogate last night but although there was a hanging thing to take to the till there was none left, so they let me have the Seagate backup plus slim for the same price. I got the last Seagate, so no point in trying Harrogate. The rest are about £39-£42 for a 1Tb which I think is pretty standard. There's no desktops just portables.

Wow the seagate contains a Samsung Spinpoint SATA drive so you got a hell of a deal!

200gb onedrive for 2 years as well. Thought about using it in my laptop but my 1tb is a hybrid so I think I'll stick with it.

Thanks. Managed to grab a couple in Hyde near Manchester, last two maybe. Had to ask though, only had Seagate on display. Plenty of WD 1tb left.

Weird how they don't put them on the shelf. Keeping them for workers only?

Is this a portable one? (2.5" drive inside?), if so would it be suitable to use to replace the HD in a PS4?

Yes it's the smaller 2.5 external. Don't know about opening it up to fit into a PS4 though.

edit: measurements of outer case so others can get a grasp, it's 8cm x 11cm x 2cm compact style external with short USB 3 cable

None in Cheltenham

Just picked 1 up from Asda Foss Park, Leicester

Does anyone know if these are compatible with Mac version 10.8 and newer?

Thanks

Yes but needs to be reformatted.

None in either of the Walsall stores..

Thank you

Wahoo Picked one up in bury branch <3

Good price for 2TB external. Heat added! :smile:

Thanks - HEAT!!!!!!!

got all 3 from cape hill thanks

You did NOT need tooooooo much then ..... :-(

Hahahahahahahaha.

Agreed! .. they now need to ALLLLLL come down to this cheaper price me also thinks?. :-)

​you can buy if u want

For 2tb it's a cracking price, but only 5400rpm :disappointed:

I thought the idea behind "Asda Rollback" was that the price of something was rolled back to a time many moons ago, when the price of it was lower. But if that's true then shouldn't the price of this have gone up instead of down??

IT is very rare to find these portables faster than 5400rpm as they are designed to run on less power.

Gutted but thanks for update, I may try London road on the off chance

Yes and have been naughty. Breached government guidelines in Match 2012 and then singled out by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in April 2016.

Don't think there's any in Coventry at all, went to most and couldn't find it even after asking staff. Sucks, was in the market for an external HDD.

I don't know about that .. seagate and WD have sold about 20% less drives YOY and the market shows no signs of picking up... more capacity for less money every year, till ssd's eat their market completely.

Although I agree that this is a bargain. really need 2. so you can back up your back up data. I'm a firm believer of not putting all your eggs in a basket. if you only back up to one device what happens when it fails. data /memories are priceless and not easily replicated. so recommend yoy get 2 of these and get onto a habit of scheduling regular backups as you'll not get forwarding when devise about to malfunction and Warrenty won't bring your data back. heat added

Thx op,just picked up last one from wigan. Thx to chopperhantos for the heads up too.

Bought 1 from Asda Stanley this morning. Says £65 on shelf but went through at checkout at £38. 1tb had a £44 rollback tag too but might be cheaper at checkout as well. Still had 1 2tb left in the shelf too.

It's so true

Couldn't find any in the stores I tried in Northern Ireland- they all said they don't stock the WD brand :disappointed: . Gutted!

Nice first post Op...Heat added...:sunglasses:

Just popped down to my local (Sefton Park branch on Smithdown Road, Liverpool) and managed to pick one up...
There was none on the shelves but they had them in the glass cabinet behind the counter and they definitely had at least one more left if anyone is interested...

Picked up 2 in Lower Earley...

£65 in Norwich
