Amazon - Seagate Expansion External HD 5TB - $169.99, 4TB - $129.93

Warm at $34/TB for 5GB, $32.50/TB for 4TB. Warranty is only 1 year.

Hopefully this is a good sign for Black Friday <$30/TB deals!

5 TB is lots of data to lose, and they give you a 1 year warranty ? Ouch!

You are also missing a link for the product in question.

I agree that the 1 year warranty is pretty scary. I'd personally get this only if I needed it right now. Otherwise hopefully Black Friday will bring some 5 & 6TB drives with two or three year warranties under $30/TB.

That's why one should buy 4 different drives and not neglect proper backup strategy.
