Looking for internal 4TB HDD to throw in my bay

The Good Guys have one for $199 and I still have a coupon for $20 so $179 but want to check if there is a better deal somewhere

  rather avoid Amazon, I can go pick it up from a local…now considering a bit more and going full NAS on front page at the moment…

I've recently had the epiphany that backing up your data in one large capacity drive is a risky thing to do. Depending on what files you're backing up. Why not spend a little extra to get 4x 1TB drives or 2x 2TB drives and create duplicate backups.

I've recently had a 3TB drive failed on me and I regretted not backing my data up in smaller portions.

  This is just for my media which is not the end of the world if I loose it. Have already made a clone on a spare 2TB to ensure photos and important stuff is never lost. I am using a HDD bay that holds 2 drives as my Plex share for TV Shows and Movies etc. So just need another to drop in beside it.

I have a BNIB 3TB ST3000DM001 from Amazon I'm trying to sell if you're interested in that. I'll do $125 shipped to where ever you are.
