Shipping to Metro Brisbane worked out to be $20 USD per drive for 4 drives.
Per drive?! Crikey
@Neology ?
not convinced with their scamy boxing day deals where they increase the price for every 10pcs, might give this a go
$115 USD shipping, jesus
The crazy postage kill the deal
Group buy and save on shipping?
Awesome deal - but $144.97USD shipping is a bit on the nose…
recertified is for certain kind of person
im not one of them
and then theres the fact theyre Seagate…
double crap shoot
I just checked the hours on my old media pc on the Seagate hard drives in it between 3000 and 3830 days uptime
theres always an exception to any rule :)
30+ years of IT forms my opinion of Seagate, its one of two golden rules:
1) Never buy Acer
2) Never buy SeagateSo far its kept myself, companies ive worked for and clients happy
Never buy Seagate
I quit with Seagate years ago and never looked back, since then I only used Western black (Western blue is trash) or Hitachi and still using them 24/7.
Let the uneducated fanbois here enjoy the expensive scam from serverpartsdeals, they don't understand the risks nor they read the warranty terms!@billadm: How many hours on your Western digitals? But yeh i wouldn't buy these refurbs
@chris666: The main Western and Hitachi drives around 10 years, 15 hours (some days 24 hours) per day 7 days per week.
The other Western drives are from the previous system so around 16 years doing the same job as additional data drives.@billadm: Impressive thx
@billadm: Blue isnt bad. CMR, 8TB for under $200 commonly. They work well for zfs.
@billadm: Nope, ive worked as a storage specialist for over a decade.
Why do you ask?
@billadm: Fair comment.
Sorry about the extra detail. I only hoped to illustrate the odds of me knowing about storage.
Didn't mean to imply you 'really cared', per-se.Didn't mean anything by it, Sorry again.
So, regardless of that then, why do you ask?
No wonder there's no shipping estimate in the title…
Shipping makes this not a deal, cheaper for recertified via ebay.
Check their theft style warranty and return terms, seriously I don't understand how the op considers this to be a deal!
Don't trust SeaGate when the drive is brand new.
$62 aud shipping ….
