rreyv Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I don't reckon 4TB is really worth it yet (unless you've filled up all your SATA slots with 3TB drives). You get 3TB for $89 and paying more than twice as much for another TB is not recommended. Quote Link to comment
RussellinSacto Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 I didn't suggest this was the deal for everyone - but it is a good price if it's what you need. Quote Link to comment

Please let me know where I can still get one. -Christian Quote Link to comment

HatchetMan Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Speaking of $189 4TB Hitachi's, here is an external (- $10 using Turkey10) http://www.jr.com/hgst/pe/HIT_0S03503/?SiteID=Es5Ekr9eEBk-xl%2F0wGn2JEIBSnQmp5BWTQ&JRSource=linkshare#productTabDetails Anybody rip one out for unRAID, is it a CoolSpin/5400RPM?

etc6849 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I agree the best value are the $89 3TB drives you can't get anymore. I would have bought them, but they sold out too quick That said, the red label 4TB Hitachi drives are pretty nice. Also, the Hitachi drives are made in Thailand and not China, not sure which is better. The 4TB drive also comes with a 3 year manufacturer warranty versus 2 years. I own two of the 4TB 0S03355 drives and they are very fast and extremely quiet. I just ordered 8 more of the 4TB drives to max out my 4U case (holds 10 drives, blu-ray player and two ssds). For the extra money I would save with 3TB drives, I would need to find a 4U rack mount case to hold more drives; at least 13, plus my SSDs and blu-ray drive. Quote Link to comment

Either way, if you were looking for a 3TB drive, here's a 3TB external for $109. RussellinSacto's point was good - that if someone needs a 4TB, this was a good deal. I just wanted to point out that unless one really needs the space, one should wait to get a better deal. Quote Link to comment
