Archive HDD is not NAS HHD
Why can't you have this HDD connected to a network storage device? Can't see why not.
You can! Myself and many others are running them successfully in NAS RAID configs however they're not specifically designed for the task due to their slow write speeds etc.
But everyone uses NAS devices differently. Say if you wanted to download a movie at 2mbs per second then play it back later through your nrtwork, that's hardly stretching it.
Also, NAS and RAID are two different things.
@adam149: Ha, erm… I'm fully aware of that ;) I was just wanting to differentiate to clarify because I read your original question as if you were asking about using in a singular config, not RAIDed with others. I can only comment on their performance when using multiples of these drives in a RAID config. I don't think I'd be game to use a single 8TB HDD in a NAS.
I've purchased this for $280 in the past.
Yes, sorry Wayn. This isn't a fantastic price I'm afraid. I bought all mine earlier in the year for around $250 inc. Delivery. All still working perfectly in my Xpenology NAS too for those haters.
$250 is extremely cheap! I've got four of these in my HP microserver. It's noisy but it does the job.
Yeah I know, that's why I jumped on them when I did :) It was part of a larger Kogan/eBay sale and I don't think many people noticed them. See my comment here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/239949?page=2#comment-3565… I couldn't post it as a separate deal as there wasn't enough stock to satisfy the rules. Oh well.
Thanks for that, I wished I knew earlier. I did a a little digging prior, and coulndt find any 8TB lover than $350, hence I jumped on this.
Any feedback on the product ? Is it noisy ? Is it stable ? If it's bad i might consider returning it.It's slightly noisy other than that it's value for money for the space it offers.
Yikes, sorry ! I thought it was a good deal. I couldnt find any cheaper rate for 8TB storage for some reason. T.T

Make sure you buy this hard drive from a reputable seller. I bought one, it had bad sectors, got it swapped to a new one under warranty, the new one had bad sectors, didn't want to risk it anymore and got my money back.
In before NAS argument
6 hours too late pal.
Damn I missed that
Considering this drive has been around the $250-270 range before, this isn't a great deal overall.
But maybe at the moment, this is the best price available… if you desperatelyneed a new 8TB drive right now!
I dint know this… T.T I wished I knew i could get it at $250….
Was that during special promotion ? When i did my research all retailed at $370+ that's why I jumped onto this..
