4TB HDD on sale? How come no reviews?

Man, when these drop down to ~$180, they'll be large enough for me to consider putting up with the hassles of 4K sectors.
15TB -> 30TB 😀
 
My concern isn't the capacity of the drive, but the reliability. A couple months ago when the new Seagate Barracuda 3TB drives came out (with the three 1TB platters) I got two of them (new) from Amazon for $178. Great deal. But both drives started the "click of death" a few days after use, then stopped working and being recognized in the BIOS. I ended up having to boot using my old 1TB drive to get into Win 7, then reconnect the Seagate 3TB, and it had SMART errors. So I cleared all the data and returned them. Now using Hitachi 2TB 7K3000 (which was $199/each) for 3 months and have had zero issues with them.
