    $27.3 per TB. Not bad for a large drive.

      Hard disk form factor 3.5 Inches

      Doesn't sound that large to me?

        3.5" is plenty. Besides, it's all about how you use it

          3.5” is about doubt the size of my drive

        Anyone remember Quantum Bigfoot 5.25" drives? If we still had huge drives like that today maybe they could increase capacity?

      It is a good price especially for the largest drive available right now.

      Yes, I got the 16TB from that, running nicely in my NAS now.

      • harro112 on 12/05/2023 - 09:13

      One of mine was DoA. Reckon I need to have both replaced to be safe?

    • wellzi on 12/05/2023 - 09:19

      Same. Nabbed 2 x 20TB for $630. I can't fathom the idea of paying $600+ for a single 22TB.

    • Konradical on 12/05/2023 - 10:26

      Completely agreed. So happy I nabbed 12x 20TB :)

      • wellzi on 12/05/2023 - 11:05

        Holy! You got 12 of them?! … I was contemplating up to 8, but certainly didn't have the $4K to drop on them.

        • Zorlin on 13/05/2023 - 13:54

          glances at 55x 16TB drives

      • Scrobo on 12/05/2023 - 17:01

        I only got 6 x 20TB, wish I had gotten 6 more.

    • ForbiddenCouponJutsu on 13/05/2023 - 10:58

      I saw that and was very tempted but I didn't have the capital to pay for it at the time (had just brought a Sonos ARC in the recent Good Guys sale) amazing price but couldn't add an extra $300+ to it

    • jaxon on 29/05/2023 - 22:33

      Looks like Seagate dropped prices (temporarily) to match the Ironwolf sales [Seagate Launches 22TB HDD, Listed for $18 (USD) Per TB]

      Edit: Seagate has announced it's created 5TB platters, so, with 10 of those inside a 3.5" drive, we'll be at 50TB shortly, and aim for 100TB by 2025.

      Is also looking ato 30TB HAMR drives soon this year too : https://blocksandfiles.com/2023/04/21/seagate-30tb-hamr/

  • ContinuousCustomer on 11/05/2023 - 23:05

    Still waiting for my two 8TBs to die.

  • QuickToThePointless on 11/05/2023 - 23:22

    i have a mix of 8 & 4TB's in my plex sever….never bit the bullet on anything bigger coz worried of failure - i mean a 1TB is just as likely as a 22TB to fail, given time?

    its getting insane how large these platters add up to now….what a time to be alive!

          yes - the wall of text is a highly detailed answer built with bricks of technobabble and computer speak that few of us really, truly understand.

          yes - indeed it is a highly detailed answer …to a question no one asked.

          and yes - i do find myself keen to hear more about his illiterate parents goatfarm though…

      • gunslinger on 12/05/2023 - 09:29

        That is a lot of text.
        Look at Tailscale for a (Free) VPN option, a lot better than site-to-site IMO.

        I suggest using ChatGPT to translate:

        I possess a QNAP device with five bays, each housing a 4TB NAS drive. These drives are set up in a RAID 5 configuration to store my media. The NAS is equipped with a 10-gigabit network card that connects to a managed switch (MikroTik) with a 10-gigabit capability. The switch, in turn, is linked to a server I personally assembled. The server boasts 18 cores, 36 threads, 64GB of RAM, and is outfitted with six 2TB SSDs. Operating on a hypervisor (Proxmox), the server runs several virtual machines, including Plex, True NAS, a VPN host, and an ad block/DNS filter. The Plex virtual machine has a folder mounted from the QNAP NAS, while the True NAS utilizes the six SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration.

        To facilitate high-speed file transfers, all three of my PCs are connected to the network via 10-gigabit connections, with PCIe Gen 4 NVMe drives. Consequently, I can copy files from my PCs to the True NAS's SSD RAID at a rate of 1 gigabyte per second. Admittedly, this setup is somewhat excessive, but I find it immensely enjoyable to experiment with.

        For VPN functionality, I employ WireGuard, and I have the WireGuard client installed on my phone, enabling me to access my Plex server via Telstra's 5G network. The latency is tolerable, although my next challenge involves establishing a site-to-site VPN connection with my parents' residence. This would allow me to remotely access their PC, back up my NAS to their NAS, and oversee their IP camera security system. The distance between us is approximately 1,000 km, and the thought of wasting my precious vacation time to resolve technical issues for my tech-illiterate parents is quite frustrating.

          Sure, but can it tell me why I'd care?

    • incipient on 12/05/2023 - 01:00

      But 2x22tb is going to have a lot less failures than 8x4tb.

      Also. Age is a factor.

      • QuickToThePointless on 12/05/2023 - 01:12

        yes but every time one 4/8tb dies its only a fraction of the cost to replace - or a fraction of the data lost….its a head scratcher, no doubt!

        • incipient on 12/05/2023 - 01:20
          +2

          The 2x22 would be a mirror. Absolutely wouldn't be running without redundancy!

          But yeah 22tb is expensive. The 12tbs are pretty decent.

  • Scrobo on 12/05/2023 - 16:54

    The 20TB is a little cheaper per TB at $542.43 https://www.amazon.com.au/Western-Digital-20TB-Internal-Driv…
    and the 18TB is cheaper per TB than the 20TB at $460.24 + $20 shipping, but both of these get an extra 5% off if you buy 2 which brings the price down more. You can get 2 of the 18TB and stay under the $1000 GST cap. The 16TB is cheaper too.

    • POLSKA on 12/05/2023 - 19:45

      for me its more capacity per port with low price per gb (the two together) at this price I'm satisfied in current climate

  • jaxon on 29/05/2023 - 22:30

    Anyone's orders coming in as a crazy long ETA? ORdered few days ago and the ETA is not for another 2 months.. are they making my HDD by hand
