Decent drive for mass storage and gaming if you're looking for a HDD on a budget. $35/tb is a good deal imo.
Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 months
CamelCamelCamel.
Yep
Not a deal or bargain really, consider https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/881942 @24.95tb and some others deals that have come and gone with AU stock
Linking something that isn't $150 more than this post may be a better comparison
I didn't post the deal so not my job. It's the fact that this isn't even a deal at all, to make others aware of whats the go for cheap prices these days :P on spinning HDD and its not Australian warranty or stock! xmagic concurrs
Should only deals that beat or matches the best deal be posted?
I certainly appreciate people posting what a HDD could be had for per TB. especially for items that one is not in a rush to get.
I'll wait for the next deal. and there will always be a next deal, no FOMO.
HODL.
Checked my old logs, I paid $449 for a brand new WD 18TB drive from Amazon back in Nov 2021. That was $24.94 per TB.
This is probably the most awkward time to come up with a better offer than this particular one at 8-14TB range.
If a 3-year warranty manufacturer refurbished drive from a reputable seller counts, this will be more than $100 cheaper and likely more performant, with practically the same experience.
Hey I'm looking to get a couple hard drives for my NAS - probably 12-14TB.
What you have linked looked very well priced and I would be happy to pull the trigger but I hear (no pun intended) that the Exos are very loud and I would prefer to avoid overly noisy drives.
Anything else you can suggest, via another seller perhaps?
They're not much more noisier than WD heliums. East Digital also has HC550 pulls (not FR, these are really used drives) which are even cheaper, and are WD, if that's what you want.
Maybe investing on a sound dampening closet is better, if noise is a real issue.

$35/tb is a good deal imo
Have you never bought a HDD before? This deal is the most expensive $/tb on hard drive tag
I did not know that site existed

<$25/TB CMR is the gold standard of a good spinning rust deal. Not $35/TB.
