  Buy with Amex and you get it with Free Shipping (about $162 AUD) - just tried and it worked.

  Don't need one though, but for that price, couldn't resist - will upgrade one of my 1TBs in the server

  Would anyone know if this would work with WDHD Live TV? I know previously WD supported drives up to 2TB. Also a faster drive will a faster drive reduce the startup time. Thanks.

  Great price, but just bring myself around to buying anything Seagate until I hear
  better reliability stats in the likes of backblaze studies.

      Interesting, I've never has a Seagate fail, have had two WD's (USB desktop and a red) and a Toshiba laptop drive fail though.

        you're just lucky that your seagate isn't one of the 24 % failure rate.
        Remember that every factory always have a failure product. It depends on the quality control to minimize the failure rate!

        If you do backup regulary especially the crucial data, the seagate should be fine. I also consider that the seagate hard drive is one of the fastest HD available (check hard drive benchmark)

        https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-update…

        Hitachi Desktar (3 TB) proven to be the most reliable one based on the research conducted.
        REMEMBER , your data is the most important stuff. Don't get tempted by the cheapness of the Hard - Drive. Better be safe than sorry

        @rodinthink:

        IBM Deathstar?

        LoL. I wonder how many people actually recall that drive.

    Dubious, Blackblaze study is unscientific. Hardware.fr has contrasting data:

  Great find OP, but I've just bought the 1TB version for $97 from MSY. Would have paid this much for a 4TB.

  NAS compatible?

  Please change the title, it is a hybrid drive, not a solid state hybrid drive. Technically it is hybrid SSD/HDD.

  Perfect timing, I was looking to add storage to my HTPC and this is perfect and cheaper than local with free shipping on Amex card. Thanks OP
