February 17, 201412 yr Newegg Shell Shocker Deal - Starting at 12 Noon (3 PM PT). Ends today. TOSHIBA DT01ACA300 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive $98.99 w/FS
February 18, 201412 yr Nice price on a good drive. I've had one in my server now for about a year. I'll pick one up.
February 18, 201412 yr For a dollar more, http://www.microcenter.com/product/406838/3TB_7,200_RPM_SATA_60Gb-s_35_Internal_Hard_Drive_PH3300U-1I72 Different model PH3300U-1I72 but 3 year warranty on it. The newegg one has just a 2 year on it. I been trying to hold off on buying any more drives, really had hoped 4tb drives would have gotten more affordable by now.
February 18, 201412 yr i know what you mean. there have been a few 4tbs drives on par with the 3tb price but not since the holidays. still looking for a 4tb for around $135.

It's really about $7 more because Microcenter charges for shipping unless you live near one where you can pick it up. Shipping on the Newegg drive is free. If I hadn't already ordered the Newegg one though I'd get it. It's worth the extra $7 bucks for the warranty.
February 19, 201412 yr Here in IL, it's around another $10 for tax picking one up instore, which I did tonight. Preclearing now.

I have a microcenter around 10 minutes from my place. 6% tax in my area, still worth the few extra dollars for another year of warranty coverage. I always run the preclear scripts on the disk and test it, if it's no good easy to exchange it for me.
February 22, 201412 yr Even if these don't show as such in the bios, are these effectively Hitachi drives? (or at least manufactured with Hitachi parts)
