Much cheaper and can hold 100 GB more.

Unfortunately, they're out of stock, but call them and give it a go.

1 year warranty in AU.

What is DSE?

Edit:

Or if you want to wait, you can get 600 GB more for 30 extra dollars.

It's Ok. Please note, when installing ubuntu, it dual-boots.

It does not over-write anything.
