Nah, it's likely overflow stock from the group buy deal they did a month or so back.
I miss my cheap $100(ish) wd20earx, they're down to 139 atm (PCCG), I think they went up to like 250 after the flooding, so not horrible, but still more than I'm willing to pay…
i need 4 TB .
Alot of controller chips will only see 3.2tb
:(
What you do with 4TB HDD? My SSD is 128 GB and it's still 60 Gb free
i have a massive collection of movies.
but yeah not if SOPA has anything to do with it
Digital blurays are 30-50gb each. Im about to fill 6tb myself, just aiting for the prices to come down to upgrade
Megaupload's down, bro. We don't need that 4TB anymore.
:(
DAMN YOU SOPA!!
shake's fist
Newsgroup is still operating so well…for now ;;)

The WD 3TB elements is only $199 from various retailers JB, officeworks etc so that's worth considering before buying this.
Apples and Oranges mate. The WD is an external slower drive.
Not if you remove it from the caddy!
I could be wrong but I think if you remove it from the caddy it doesn't have regular SATA connectors and therefore can't easily be used as an internal drive.
EDIT It looks like a possibly previous version of the Elements 2TB version does have regular ports and uses a USB adapter: http://www.gearhack.com/myink/ViewPage.php?file=/docs/Wester…
So disregard!
I bought an external 3tb goflex and used it internally fine
Ambiguous - Was that the 120$ one? Maybe 4-5 months ago? best deal ever :D
Haha yeah. And my OW didnt add in shipping so mine ended up even cheaper :)
They are usually the green drives or something similar. Slower to use even when directly connected to a SATA drive. Also if you remove it from the caddy you lose your warranty.
Actually you can reassemble most drives to retain warranty, only a few have to be actually broken open.
This deal is for an internal SATA3. Do external drives offer the same speed if you use them internally?
I thought the reason why they are cheaper is because they have inferior speed (afterall, what's the point of making it SATA3 capable when it's only intended for USB 2/3?)
Wow seeing this is crazy after ordering those $118 3TB WD's from B&H Photo last year :)
Can you guarentee that these drives are infact Seagate? :P
7200RPM drives are not intended to be used for "just storage". This drive is more suited for more intensive read/write tasks whereas your typical cheaper 5400RPM drive is fine for storage but nothing too read/write intensive
i thought it would be 4TB next?
like from 1 to 2, and 2 to 4As said above, their are limitations on some controllers that can't handle 4Tb, as time progresses they will all be gone and the sale of the 4Tb+ should go unhindered.
Plus remember you had 80Gb, then 100Gb, then 120Gb, then 180Gb, then 200Gb and so on. It doesn't just double.
i remember my dad had an old 386 PC or somthing that had a 16Gb hard drive!
cost him thousands
How long is the warranty period? I've heard the warranty period for some seagate drives are now shortened.
The NetPlus site says 1 year but I'm fairly sure the manufacturer warranty is 2 year on these.
But yes, it used to be 5 year on this line.
Rep: what is the warranty on these? Are you only giving 1 year?
Hdd still a massive rip off ATM. I'll wait until supplies have returned to their normal output level. Definitely not a bargain
You're comparing with prices that are in the past, I.e, no longer available for now. Question is for people that need such a drive now, is this a bargain?
Just like the markets, you buy low and sell high. Right now the markets are high, so no bargain, no buying for me.
And if someone needs or even just really wants one now… ?
Hopefully this means the tide had turned and that prices will start to come down post the Lunar New Year…
