    4TB for $214 as well

    • Radar on 29/03/2016 - 23:44

      was about to get a couple of these, but realized they don't have free shipping.

      • djlongy on 30/03/2016 - 15:40

        It's showing free for me.
        $206 AUD shipped (4 drives)

        • Radar on 30/03/2016 - 17:23

          quoted me $42 shipping for 2x4GB

          ended up getting a 6.

    • blurrybird on 30/03/2016 - 12:18

      These are generally regarded as higher quality when compared to the WD range.

    very good price. but those who intend to buy one should know that these are pretty noisy drives. i have two in my newly commissioned NAS (G1610T Microserver running xpenology) and sitting next to it I can hear the drives constantly reading away/spinning.

    none the less, two more 6TB drives will be a welcome addition.

    • SteveBuscemi on 29/03/2016 - 22:19

      We run quite a few at work. Definitely concur — great drives in terms of speed and reliability but VERY noisy!

    • samtheexpert on 29/03/2016 - 23:51

      G1610T support 6TB? HP website shows maximum 4TB

      • t25 on 30/03/2016 - 00:04

        Really? I've never checked, just assumed they would work. But definitely 2x 6TB deskstar NAS in there running xpenology. And will be getting two more at this rate.

        Cheapest drives I've ever paid for this was $270/each. So I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger for these at this price.

        Any idea on expiry on this deal?

        • Nimitz on 30/03/2016 - 13:01

          Not sure when this deal will expire..I'm guessing end of March. :)

        • t25 on 30/03/2016 - 18:10

          @Nimitz: guess I'm going to place an order tonight then. Don't want to miss out

    • 4agte on 30/03/2016 - 00:51

      I also find these run warmer than my other drives. I have had over 8 different models in my server over time. My HSGT is always my warmest drive.

    • lucksmith on 30/03/2016 - 01:20

      Could you recommend a reliable one but not as noisy? I want to use it for my home studio.

      • snuke on 30/03/2016 - 01:33

        WD Red aren't that noisy, not quite either

        • Vieira4 on 30/03/2016 - 11:25

          Not quite what?

        • z28 on 30/03/2016 - 12:04

          @Vieira4:
          Not quite quiet ?

        • snuke on 30/03/2016 - 12:15

          @z28:

          yeah, that too.

    HGST are the most reliable at the moment

    • Smigit on 30/03/2016 - 10:03

      Useful data, but with the big disclaimer required in that backblaze use desktop drives, not NAS ones as per this deal so there's no guarantee the failure rates apply to the NAS products that this drive by and large competes with.

  • djlongy on 30/03/2016 - 01:16

    Price is Ex GST.

    • djlongy on 30/03/2016 - 01:19

      If ordering over 2 drives, duty is applied.

  • gringo on 30/03/2016 - 01:28

    HGST coolspins are perfect for those looking for a NAS drive

  • magic8ballgag on 30/03/2016 - 09:27

    A bit overkill for a home server/NAS.

    • Smigit on 30/03/2016 - 10:05

      What's overkill about it?

      • magic8ballgag on 30/03/2016 - 10:37

        Well it's clearly being marketed as an enterprise product, the high RPM and 24/7 availability isn't really needed by most home users.

        • Smigit on 30/03/2016 - 10:51
          +1

          It's not that particularly high an RPM, no different to many desktop drives. I think in many instances people are getting them for the reliability. Sure, it won't run 24/7 but hopefully something designed to do so will stand a better chance in the long run.

        • AshFon on 30/03/2016 - 13:04

          I have surveillance cameras running on Synology and it records 27/7.

        • Radar on 30/03/2016 - 17:26

          @AshFon:
          27/7 that's unpossible!
          But yeah, pretty common usage for 24/7 - I'm sure plenty of home users do this.

        • 4agte on 31/03/2016 - 08:26

          Far from overkill. Desktop drives are not designed for NAS applications. Eg WD greens constantly park the headers. Not only makes the server less responsive but it will end the drives life early

          @4agte:

          I have WD greens in my home server and have disabled the head parking 'feature' so they're essentially WD reds without the RAID feature which I don't need.

        • t25 on 31/03/2016 - 10:53

          @tranqme: how do you disable the park feature?

          I used a tool called WDidle3, more info here.

  • MrGareth on 30/03/2016 - 12:25

    What about warranty? Is it local, or do you need to send it back to the US?

  • yacman on 30/03/2016 - 12:32

    Shipping (last item I looked at $45), plus GST? kind of kills most newegg deals, especially since I'm also not sure how the warranty works?

      This one comes with free shipping "Free shipping w/ purchase, limited offer"

    back in my day, these things were known as Deathstars…

    To this day, there's never been a hard drive failure quite like it… behold http://www.astro.ufl.edu/~ken/crash/

    • t25 on 30/03/2016 - 17:53

      But since then they have improved and are much more reliable. Doesn't do much to shake off that reputation.

  • t25 on 31/03/2016 - 13:47

    Damn…. these guys at newegg are efficient!

    Order placed 10pm (+8), and before i'm out of bed, they have packed it and its already on its way to DHL.

    2 hours later, and I get an invoice emailed to me.

  • swampson on 04/04/2016 - 09:09

    anyone who ordered/received/used previously give some impressions? I am looking at getting an HP G1610T + 4x 6TB to setup a storage/NAS/Plex box - these HGST drives look great value and reliabilty; keen to get anyone's view having purchased/used recently.
    Thanks

    • t25 on 05/04/2016 - 21:49

      I'm using the hgst 6tb NAS drives with the G1610T. Running xpenology, and so far no issues.

  • blaze on 06/05/2016 - 16:40

    Why is this marked as expired?

    Looks to me like it's still available an the price has dropped $4 to $322 AUD Delivered!

    In saying that most reviews say it's way too loud for a home NAS. Might stick to WD Reds for my personal needs.
