    similar to price to the 4tb model earlier…

    you should just tell the wife the drives are dead and need to be replaced…=D

    • ChepChep on 22/01/2018 - 14:11
      +5

      Yeah, that's why I mentioned the 4TB deal in the description. However the 15% on the 4TB drive has been removed now but still up for the 6TB (at the moment).

      Certainly tempting to say that to the wife, but not a great liar so would rather be truthful about it. She loves a bargain as well, so if I say there's a 35% discount, more likely to get the green light.

  • thearbiter117 on 22/01/2018 - 14:11

    So are these still good to use in a regular PC, for storing movies, games etc?

    • ChepChep on 22/01/2018 - 14:13
      +2

      They're designed for NAS drives, but shouldn't be a problem for regular PCs. NAS drives usually run 24/7 in most cases and optimised for that kind of environment.

      • thearbiter117 on 22/01/2018 - 14:17

        Cool, thank you. have about 6tb of storage now but it filled up pretty quick so i need more and this is cheaper per GB (and likely far more reliable) than the regular WD Blues id probably get otherwise. Plus i only have 1 SATA port left so may as well go all out on the hard drive that i use in it.

      It takes 15% when you put it in your cart - kind of a hidden discount. So, not jacked yet.

        I've updated the description to show that the 15% is applied at checkout.

    Aw crazy timing. I just ordered 6 of the 4TB this morning. I could have gotten away with 4 or 5 of these.

    • asa79 on 22/01/2018 - 14:34

      Why not 6 ;)

    • Ulysses31 on 23/01/2018 - 06:42

      Sounds like a great deal then.

  • asa79 on 22/01/2018 - 14:34

    Tempting 6TB or wait for 8TB to come down in price

    • ChepChep on 22/01/2018 - 14:37

      I've been waiting for 6TB Ironwolf drives to come down for more than 3 months to sub $200 level. I haven't seen any 8TB Ironwolf drives discounted for a while…

    • hamwhisperer on 22/01/2018 - 16:34

      I have 5s now :( I refuse to update until at least 8s. Preferably 7 of themfor under 1600 shipped

  • OpenHand on 22/01/2018 - 14:35

    Just ordered one, thanks OP. My old WD Green has slowly been degrading. Two questions:

    • Best way to clone my old drive to my new one?
    • Any decent way to use the drive externally? I have a very small ITX case and currently have 2 SSDs and my HDD crammed in but it doesn't help airflow. I store all my photos, videos and media on my HDD so use it fairly regularly but no need for super intensive applications like my SSDs.

      Not sure, will let you know when they arrive.

    • kahn on 22/01/2018 - 18:32

      They have a rotational speed of 7200 RPM, so will be noisy while in operation. Not sure about idle noise.

  • theguyrules on 22/01/2018 - 14:39

    So, my 1.5TB portable is finally filling up.
    Any suggestions on NAS's, OP (or anyone else)?

    • ChepChep on 22/01/2018 - 14:45

      I've got a Synology (an older one). Can't speak for any others, but find the Synology operating system is easy to use and also has a bunch of free apps for things like media players, photo viewing, email servers among others. I use mine for media storage, and run movies and music through it via my PS4. Also store photos and have it setup for Raid 1 backups.

      • garylau on 22/01/2018 - 15:03

        I've also got a Synology 213j 2 bay NAS. I wonder if I want to replace the exiting hard drive, does it mean that the system has to be re-installed and copy all the stuff from the old hard drive to these? It will be a pain.

        • ChepChep on 22/01/2018 - 16:17
          +1

          I've go the 413j at home and working well. As you've said, I believe you'll need to re-install the system then copy everything over. A pain, yes, but better than formatting over any critical data. That's what I'll be doing and setting up raid backups when I get another 2 6TB drives (not this deal though as it's sold out).

        • Ulysses31 on 23/01/2018 - 06:44

          @ChepChep: RAID… Backups?

          Please tell us you're not serious.

    • Last Seen on 22/01/2018 - 14:56

      Really like the Synology 4-bay "+" models.

    • ruddiger7 on 22/01/2018 - 15:13

      I have the Synology DS916+ - Fits 4 drives with option for another expansion drive (I think up to 10tb each).
      They aren't cheap and the CPU could be a little better for the price.
      It's the software that makes it so good to use as it's very intuitive and easy.

      Paired with an Nvidia shield you are looking at one of the best consumer media setups.

      • theguyrules on 22/01/2018 - 15:17

        Yeah damn they aren’t cheap.
        Hmmmmmm

        • ruddiger7 on 22/01/2018 - 18:54

          Wait for ebays next 20% off tech sale. Thats how i got mine for an alright price.

      • Ulysses31 on 23/01/2018 - 06:45

        Shield is overpriced niche product, for a media player.

        • ruddiger7 on 23/01/2018 - 09:17

          On Amazon its reasonably priced. In terms of a player that can stream 4K HDR atmos rips from the nas it's worth its price.

    Oh well, bought four of these as well. Two thumbs up.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/01/2018 - 00:34

      For what it's worth seems Warehouse1 has been listening because the disks I ordered were delivered today and were very well packaged. Large Australia Post cardboard box, foam insert clearly designed for shipping disks, ESD bag around each disk. All the SMART tests reporting OK and although haven't surface-scanned the disks, fairly confident will be OK.

      Might be that ordering 4 disks helped. There's a lot of packaging - can't imagine they'd do all this for 1 disk.

    A little off topic but has anyone had any experience with the INTEL 1TB SSD6. It seams like a good price. Comes down to $348.92. Thanks

  • chinospot on 22/01/2018 - 15:13

    Tempting. Is it worth to hold out until the WD blacks come back down to around $220 or the reds come down to this price?
    Or is Seagate now on the same level as WD in terms of reliability?

    • ChepChep on 22/01/2018 - 15:17

      The general opinion is that WD is still more reliable, but I've always have Seagate drives and never had a problem (knock on wood). I've been waiting to see which 6TB drives come down sub-$200 first and the Ironwolf drives won. Would've brought the WD Red if they got there first.

      • asa79 on 22/01/2018 - 15:29

        I had 4 Seagates die within 3 weeks 1 after each other in my HP Microserver, the Seagate RMA is pretty good tho

        • asa79 on 23/01/2018 - 19:36

  • JediG on 22/01/2018 - 15:16

    Don't bother with these guys. They don't package the drives well and it'd end up damaged when it arrives. I've been sent drives from them twice and both times they came damaged. All they do is put 3-4 layers of bubble wrap, which is then put inside a plastic satchel. Knowing how the postal system works, these will be thrown around. If it's not damaged when it arrives, then you're lucky, but I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks down earlier than expected.

    I got a replacement from Seagate directly and they cover the drive in foam, which is placed in a hard box, which is how it should be done.

    • HeXa on 22/01/2018 - 17:33

      this… better off paying a bit more for knowing they were transported properly

      a thin layer of bubble wrap and freedom to bounce around doesn't make for a happy HDD

      Had to return a 4TB WD RED as it was shipped in a satchel from these guys (Warehouse1). Eventually got a refund - what a waste of time.

      Computer Alliance weren't much better but the HDD survived for now.

      Shopping Express / Futu seemed to be the only ones that used a bubble envelope + box so packaging was the best of the lot. Haven't powered up the drive though to check if DoA.

    • digitalaxon on 22/01/2018 - 23:37

      My sentiments exactly - I took the risk and bought 2 hard drives (4TB IronWolfs) for Christmas and like many others, found them wrapped in merely two layers of bubblewrap in a plastic satchel.

      Fortunately they are fine, and I suspect Warehouse1 probably calculated that the cost of addressing failures due to bad shipment is less than the cost of properly packaging the each drive they ship for transport. Which is a sad indication that its purely motived as a cost saving measure and I'd be happy to pay $10 for better packaging as the savings would still be worth it. I since then bought another one but from MSY as I didn't want to take the risk with these guys.

      For the extra $70 you can buy from PCCG (not including delivery for discussions sake) and yes you can get the version of this drive with a 256Mb cache (vs 128 which seems to sell for the same price) and know its been handled correctly, and know you'll get a higher level of warranty aftercare. Assuming $35 for each, you are paying $35 for double the cache (not sure how much of a performance increase this would create) and $35 for better care…

      Now you could argue, 6Tb of data, its worth it…

    • JediG on 23/01/2018 - 09:33

      And what would they care right? If it arrives DOA, they'd just shift the blame back to Seagate telling them that the drives were faulty.

      Plus they probably just worked out the cost savings from a shipment/return point of view and NOT the cost of "time". If you take into account the staff costs to go through a returns process, repack/send to the customer and send the faulty drives back to seagate (which seagate doesn't pay the postage costs); it all adds up. Pure waste of time in the end and because of that these guys won't get repeat/returning customers.

    • CountDuckula on 31/01/2018 - 14:24

  • LoftyAu on 31/01/2018 - 01:46

    Thought I would update - my 6TB drive arrived today. It came wrapped in a wad of bubble wrap in a cardboard box. Still room for improvement, but better than just in a satchel.
