If you must have the biggest HDD available with a whopping 10TB….. then here you go. Cheapest Aussie in stock is $720 (plus delivery) at EYO
Must be said that 8TB drives are much better $ per GB value e.g. 8TB Amazon Link
Currently showing as in stock at Amazon US. Note this is the "NAS" version of the 10TB drives recently released.
CamelCamelCamel.
Not this one. There's 3 versions of the sea gate 10tb. This is currently the cheapest. The enterprise one is 500+ usd
Thanks :) I'll hold of in the hope that storage will get cheaper soon… my NAS will never be completed at this rate though!
$60/TB….. pretty darn cheap for the size of the drive! Buying single 1TB drives are over this price point!
Giggity!
no, 10 Giggity! ;)
Well no, it's 10,000 Giggity actually :)
Should be 10,240 Giggaty, but somewhere along they decided it was better to measure in Giggity. :(
Edit: comma
How the hell do you fill this now that Kickass is gone? Err, I mean that's a lot of legitimate off site backups.
Someone is forgetting Rule #1.
Correct
“Thanks, Wedge” Luke said, breathing a sigh of relief.
I like #34 more than #1
You pay to pirate or do you get access to there for free?
5 USD bucks a month is a small price to pay for every file regardless of age downloading at 100Mbit or whatever your internet speed happens to be.
I have to confess i pay 5 bucks because i got a good deal but 10 USD isn't a lot either.
Usenet is overrated. It is full of fake files containing malware, and password protected files. Popular films , TV shows and games get DMCA-ed even before the upload is complete. A far greater range of material is available on torrents and web sites with file locker links. The only advantage UseNet has is that you can max out your download speed.
You should be able to cut down the number of malware and password protected files by setting your client to stop downloads once it finds an executable in them.
Pretty easy to set this up in Sab for example.
Most of the "news" articles I read should not contain exe's
I (and a few others I know) use the 8tb drives and have almost filled them. Photographers/videographers can fill them pretty quick, especially if you keep all of your original footage from every project.
So porn.
Someone has to backup the internet.
Plane porn maybe. I've shot 500GB in one weekend at an airshow. Another 500GB for a family cruise (but that was almost 2 weeks long). Still it doesn't take much.
Shot photos in RAW+JPG. That was about 50-70MB a pop. I averaged something like 600-700 photos a day. That might sound like a lot but these aren't professional studio shots. Very much snapshots (not in the derogatory sense but in the sense that I had to shoot whatever was there with very little or no setup). I got some great ones but I wouldn't have if I'd been more conservative. Not on a family holiday anyway.
Get into photography or worse video editing.
if this 10TB drive failed my online backup service Crashplan would probably take me months to download the data back….
Very tempting though!
You need NBN and unlimited data.
Actually it would probably take you months just to upload the files to your online backup let alone download it.
Uploading isn't the issue, I have 31.5TB on Crashplan on NBN 100/40.
Downloading 10TB at once… thats the problem.
Don't crashplan offer a service where you can mail in a hard drive and they will put your data on it and mail it back? Sure it costs money but it's definitely faster. You should be making a local backup in addition to offsite backup though.
Not anymore.. but why would I mail my data in? the slow part is downloading the data since you need 10TB all at once (if I had this drive). And no they don't mail you a hard drive with your data.. and when they did, it was small 2-3TB drives anyway so its useless.
Do you know how much it would cost to make 31TB locally backed up and offsite? Who has that sort of money…
you need Labor NBN and unlimited data.. Tony abbots NBN maxed out at 25mb's :) ADSL2+ download speeds vs 100-1000MBS fiber
Fibre to the Node maxes out at 140Mbps. Also, most people on Fibre to the Home connections are using the 12/1 down/up plan. Obviously, FTTH has the potential to get to 1Gbps but if any provider here is offering that speed they won't be giving it to you cheaply.
hahahaha NBN….. yeah fake NBN 2.0 won't cut it.
Are these "Archive" disks or normal ones?
They are "NAS" ones, like WD red if that helps. As for the actual performance I'm sure some reviews are around online.

Hmm, $4,800 to upgrade my 8-bay NAS. Think I'll hold off for a while :)
a lot of porn..
Not really, we've transitioned to 4K 3D porn… which takes up a lot more data :(
need a good VR gadget for it!!! any good deal? LOL
Still it's too low resolution for 360* VR videos.. I mean I've heard from others that it's still too low to enjoy, phew!
Last time i saw p0rn was when I was 21, 11 years later, don't think I miss those videos that mess up the brain..glad I pulled out early
Isn't it normal for 12 year olds to consume porn now though?
In spite of the supposedly "worse than death" danger this poses to young minds parents still don't take the phone away from them. Because they're extremely afraid of their young darlings being "left behind" which apparently poses a greater danger to young people than porn.
pulled out early…. I believe that is called the withdrawal method :)
@Diji1: No idea why anyone in Public school, and the early years of highschool needs a freakin phone.
I catch the train to work and you see these young kids with their iPhones, just stupid.
We all went to school before anyone had a mobile device, had 0 impact on our lives.

Pokemon Go.
glad I pulled out early
money shot right there.
glad I pulled out early
That's what he said.
Pull out game strong
Such a nice round number for future HDD capacity, a nice even 10.
I can imagine all the OCD tech people thinking how great their RAID capacities look now they could round to x0 TB.
Imagine the rebuild times for the arrays…
NO!
Yeah but it's only like 9.2TB of actual space. :P
Not on OSX or Linux (from memory) where 10TB = 10TB usable space :)
It's more that manufacturers seem to like using bytes to measure the capacity so it's generally off (OS and partition headers, etc not included).
Isn't it that hard drives have always been measured in bytes and that it's the OS's that come and go and have different ways of deciding how many bits they will put into a byte?
Pretty sure that's the case as OSX and Linux puts 1000 bytes to a kilobyte, it's NTFS and FAT derivatives that use 1024 bytes to a kilobyte.
So you can have 10 x 10 in raid 10?
I'm gonna be able to download and archive sooooo many hot linux distro's on this bad boy. Cheers, OP.
I don't see how this is a bargain if 8TB drives are cheaper per TB.
You can even get a Western Digital drive locally for cheaper. ($439.20 for 8TB Red)
Edit: I suspect people are pos voting for the entertaining comments and the idea of 10tb drives.
Its a bargain in terms of the 10TB market segment. Some people want the biggest drive available and will happily pay the extra $/gb.
Basically. I wouldn't touch anything over 6tb They just arnt built right.
Thats racist.
You are limited by the number of hard drive bays you have.
Love it! Thanks
The Amazon price goes up US$14 and people are lining up to call this a bargain? Strange.
As fellow ozbargainer @nug0 mentioned, rebuilding a RAID array with a failed 10TB drive could take a loooong time (days?)
Would not consider this unless building a RAID-6 or better system.
…And I thought my TS-870 Pro with 8 x 4TB enterprise NAS drives was impressive! I could get a small 2 or 4 bay down the track with drives like these as my backup.
Oh my lawd Jeesus. Is this enterprise-grade (rated for more read-writes)?
