December 20, 201312 yr From SD. Anyone think these will go much cheaper in January or not so much since 5TB drives will be so costly. Lightning Deal: Intended for NAS installations. http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-SATA-Cache-Drive-ST4000VN000/dp/B00D1GYO4S Model: ST4000VN000 [seagate.com] Size: 4TB (4000GB) RPM: 5900 Additional: Includes TLER (Error recovery control) for RAID environments. Reduced vibration versus desktop drives.
December 20, 201312 yr Author Well, I ordered one with some Amazon credit I had in my account. Just stinks that they only limit you to 1 drive per account. I sell on AZ as my full time job so I don't want to jeopardize that with using different accounts to circumvent their policy.

December 27, 201312 yr Author It's preclearing now on a pcie x1 card at 130MB/s; not sure if that's as fast as it gets but it's still quicker than my other spinners. Took a little over 40 hours for 1 cycle though, so 3 cycles will take 5 days to complete 3 cycles. Then I'll replace the current parity drive with it and then move the old parity drive to an open slot in the array.
