Seagate 1.5TB starting to show up!

[elmer92413]

I stumbled across this today on Seagate's website. A quick google search shows that buy.com has it for $199.99 although it's "Temporarily Sold Out."

Has anyone it in stock anywhere?

Can't wait, time to swap out my 12 500GB drives to these babies

Now just waiting for the lovely 2TB drives before I jump from my 8x 750s.

this is so SO very tempting.. but i promised myself that i will be upgrading HDD only when my current ones are FULL (the same day i get out of space error, is the day i upgrade), rather then when new tech arrives... mmm

Yeah, buying excess hard drive capacity is usually a mistake, since the price is constantly dropping.

Niiice. I'm building a 15-drive storage server. Picked up 5 drives from Dell for $60 ea, Seagate 7200.11. Going to purchase the other 10 drives later when I need more space. Hoping for 1TB drives to drop to under $100 soon.

I'm using a ThermalTake Armor case, with Lian-Li EX-23 3-in-2 HD caddies (five of them). I'm also using three PNY S-Cure 5-port SATA1 PCI RAID cards. I realize my overall throughput will be limited by the speed of the PCI bus, but for the cost involved, I don't mind so much.

What kind of enclosure/setup are you running?

Very nice!
