Camel3 price drop: https://us.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0BMQWLCCM

Looking to upgrade the Synology 14TBs to 20TBs.

Haven't seen a good 20TB deal of late, this seems to be the closest. Macsales has some deals at ~USD$329 new for the X20 20TB ones but it's about USD$50 for delivery (+ GST too).

This one works out to about ~$25.48 per TB, so will probably pull the trigger!

    This might be a price error, as there is a description for both 20TB and 12TB. The listing does mention 20TB though.

    • umexcuseme on 03/07/2023 - 08:14

      Almost certainly the 12GB, but it doesn't matter coz it'll prolly turn up DOA anyway

      • congo on 03/07/2023 - 09:59

        Its too expensive for 12TB

        • umexcuseme on 03/07/2023 - 10:02

          Hmm, even though the 12TB version of this drive is $500-800 in most places, Amazon is an outlier at $388 so I think this may actually be the 20TB.

  • Chris McMahon on 03/07/2023 - 01:09

    I'm holding out for something <$25/TB in the Prime Day sales. I picked up a Seagate IronWolf Pro 18TB for $400 a month ago.

    hmm, still best value imo is https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/284579625585?hash=item4242447a71…

    sometimes theres a local seller for eastdigital which has local stock, that doesnt look like its up at the moment, if i find out the seller, i'll update this comment.

        I've bought about 50 drives from EastDigitalHK at this point. All new, all still spinning.

        • bazingaa on 03/07/2023 - 12:34

          Thanks mate, saw few RMAs from group buys, did you get from group buy or direct purchase from ED ?

            @bazingaa: Direct purchase. And apparently it was 43, not 50, although I recall buying another group of drives from them at some point(?)

              @Zorlin: I currently got 8TB CMR (WD80EAZZ) and going to buy another for $195, but this 16TB price is so tempting

            • bazingaa on 05/07/2023 - 14:17

              @Zorlin: just received the HDD, well packed though. checked serial on Seagate and shows even Seagate warrenty is available until end of this year.
              Yet to plug it and test it. Are you using "badblocks" + "long SMART" to test them or is there any better way ?.
              Do we need to change 512e to 4096 as well, saw something like that on https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/how-to-convert-512….

    • gats on 03/07/2023 - 10:23

      Would love to know of the seller. Keep us updated =)

      • bazingaa on 04/07/2023 - 12:56

        I bought one to check for around AUD 310, interestingly it was shipped from "Box Hill North" with Auspost parcel and will be delivered within 2-3 days.

    About to have my fourth try at Amazon sending a HDD that is the correct size and not DOA. This was from the 20tb deal months ago.

    Amazon US are absolute trash at posting HDDs.

      I bought 8x 20tb and they were all good

          He backed up the 'Hub just in case

    • beatsntoons on 03/07/2023 - 09:11

      Totally. I had a 20TB turn up dead first from Newegg (so I returned it) then from Amazon (went for exchange). Wrote to them and asked the specifically to make sure the replacement was wrapped securely and padded and I was assured it would be.

      Was it? Nope.

      Took a couple of days for me to run sector checks and deep scans on the drive when it turned up to make sure it ran fine

      Never again. The price you save with them isn’t worth the hassle sometimes

    Note that Toshiba do not have any warranty service for their drives. You can't send the faulty drives away to them for replacements like you can with Seagate and Western Digital.

    • justtoreply on 03/07/2023 - 09:50

      Is that even legal? I thought the customer got to decide replace or refund

      • Nom on 03/07/2023 - 10:39

        They leave the entire process up to the seller, so yes it's it's perfectly legal.
        But good luck trying to organise a warranty claim with the retailer a few years from now 😁

      Yep, clicked on this to post the same thing.
      You cannot RMA a faulty drive to Toshiba.

      I would avoid for this reason.
      No offense to OP, but I want to neg to draw attention to Toshiba's poor practices.

    Am I the only one who is bothered by having a drive that large fail?

    Maybe it's due to some of the ~13 yr old WD Green 2TB drives I still own having recently failed. I've lost basically all the TV/HD Movies I had.

    • justtoreply on 03/07/2023 - 11:25

      You should have a copy of every drive and store it off site.

      I also would replace every drive after 7-8 years now that drives have helium inside.

      • congo on 03/07/2023 - 17:32

        This is why NAS is a good idea.
        If one drive fails, you can at least recover your data.
        You should also backup important data on portable drives in case 2 drives fails at the same time.

    • Nom on 03/07/2023 - 12:38

      Am I the only one who is bothered by having a drive that large fail?

      Drive failure shouldn't be an issue, you just need to restore a backup when this happens, and get the faulty drive replaced under warranty (or buy a replacement if the warranty has lapsed).

      Obviously you need to buy multiple drives so you've got some backup capacity…

      I've lost basically all the TV/HD Movies I had.

      You should have had a backup on at least a different drive 🤷🏼‍♂️ All drives fail eventually. Plan for this.

        Sorry? How does one 'restore a backup' when the drive fails? It's failed in the sense that it's cactus, I cannot access it whatsoever.

        I'm not too fussed that I've lost all that data, just means I no longer have much of a media server though we just stream everything these days.

        Like I said the drives were probably around the 13-14 year old mark. I'm actually impressed they've lasted this long and I've backed up the other one which contained all my important documents/photos etc on.

          You take your second drive that contains the backup.
          And you restore it to the new/warranty replacement of the dead drive.

          It's as simple as that.
