mrow Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Nice price on a good drive. I've had one in my server now for about a year. I'll pick one up. Quote Link to comment
korith Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
Killer_B Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Here in IL, it's around another $10 for tax picking one up instore, which I did tonight. Preclearing now. Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
Killer_B Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Even if these don't show as such in the bios, are these effectively Hitachi drives? (or at least manufactured with Hitachi parts) Quote Link to comment
