that's a great price. The only thing holding me back is that the 4 TB drive has lower sustained rate and higher latency (180mb/s; 5.1ms) than the 3/2/1 TB ones (210mb/s; 4.8 ms), even though they are based on the same platter.

It's weird to see how expensive the standalone drive is when I bought the exact same drive in external form from Amazon for $129 a few weeks ago.

How did I miss that? I need some hard drives for an upgraded file server and the deals are lukewarm at best.

did you get the faster model from amazon I got 2 slower ones. I sold them for a few dollars more on the bay. I wish amazon matched this deal newegg taxes me killing the deal

Waiting for the same deal to come again so I can pick up two. Transitioning all my 2TB to 4TB's. Less drives for more space

so sad. I wanted to trust seagate again. I bought a 1.5tb drive, about 50 times booting it up and 500gb data moved to it and it died. Luckily it was recoverable to my new 3tb wd red. (sure hope that one doesn't die) i just need RAID i guess but so poor to buy 20tb of drives to raid.

Ive had good luck with Seagate and now that they own the Samsung line of hard drives even better.

Well, the DMs are all 5900 RPM. So yeah, that's what I got. And I preferred it anyways since power consumption and temperatures are lower, but the overall disk speeds are competitive.

I just need to store all my videos in the disk, I need something big and reliable. That said, my curiosity is piqued : How much slower are they ?

You'll be fine. That's what I use it for, my videos.

the slower ones are 135 MB/s the fast ones 175MB/s .


I make long copies of eyetv recordings 40 or 50 shows (16gb a show)

the speed matters to me.

Nice Price.

It has been a SLOW transition from 1.5/2TB drives to 3/4TB.

Id rather go with the 7200rpm 3tb model which is faster. Id rather have 4 x 3TB than 3 x 4TB. And 12 TB of internal storage will last me through a couple of years at least.

Bullshit.

Relatively the same plan as me. Hard times coming ahead so I'm stocking up on hd space.

especially if you go raid 10, which is my plan.

Now, i need a 3tb at $100.
