    Normally I prefer HGST but this is a lot better if you need 3 or more disks because you'll have to pay GST on the import.

    Edit: $18 shipping on the Toshiba is a bit expensive.

    Toshiba: $1765 for 5 disks
    HGST: $1917 for 5 disks

      The Shipping is less if you buy 2 or more. They also send send via express tracked courier. Purchased 2 HDD earlier this year from them. Was shipped before 5pm Melbourne and arrived next day 10am at my place in Sydney.

    The same seller also sells it for $60 more here if you feel like throwing money away.

        so im guessing you offered somewhere around $300 a drive for that price, that's pretty good

        coxymla on 06/12/2017 - 22:31

        @fr05ty: Yeah $300 exactly, after 5% off and combined shipping came down to about $296.

        Good price! These Toshibas are epic, i have 5 of the 6TB versions hooked up in RAID5 on a real controller and the speed is incredible. I can get 1GB/s writes.
        A little loud but they are designed for servers and DCs.

  Thats not a bad price for HGST. AFAIK HGST have the best track record for reliability

    Yes they do:

    https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q3-2…
    (Although they are not in big quantities here)

    I have been looking for new 4TB drives and the Amazon price for two HGST is about $360 landed, compared with about $435 delivered from Australian outlets. There is just the hassle of returns if they are DOA or die too soon.

    WD reliability stats in that blog above are getting better - maybe now they own HGST, they are picking up better habits.

    I wish Samsung were still in the spinning drive business. I still have a few 1TB Samsungs that are long in the tooth, but still going strong.

  But a wd red 8tb is still about $1000!? You're killing me wd =P

    BigLeviathan on 04/12/2017 - 19:11

    Huh? Don't get the joke…
    Ps: I bought wd red 8TB last week from Warehouse1 for $367.95

      incipient on 04/12/2017 - 19:46

      Haha that was a hyperbole.

      But why is an 8tb consumer drive MORE expensive than the enterprise offering!?

        Danthemanz on 08/12/2017 - 13:59

        Well these HSGT and above Toshibas are great prices.
        Also all WD reds as so overpriced. I cant believe how much they charge for what is an entry level performance drive with a couple of flags in the firmware for RAID controllers. The funniest part is most people seem to use them in NASes which doesnt even require the flag…
