June 23, 20179 yr Newegg has Seagate 4TB drives on for $129 today only while supplies last. I've bought over eight of these drives over the past year and no issues so far, I know it sucks they only come with 2yr warranties but I think they are good value. https://www.newegg.ca/Special/ShellShocker.aspx?cm_sp=Homepage_SS-_-P2_22-179-009-_-06232017&Index=2
June 23, 20179 yr Edit - these are US prices not Canadian! Thanks for posting! People always looking for good, cheap drives. Here are the ones I have been tracking .... HGST 4T, available for $139 at B&H. 3 year warranty. Best reliability brand. And these are not OEM wrapped in bubble wrap. These are shipped in factory boxes. Helps avoid shipping damage. I'm advising users to move up to 8T as they are the sweet spot on price, but if you need a 4T, this is one to consider along with the Seagate above. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1322879-REG/hgst_0s04005_4tb_7200_deskstar_nas_internal.html . The HGST 8T available at $269. Same specs as above. Slightly less per T. Excellent excellent drive. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1303685-REG/hgst_0s04012_8tb_3_5_sata_internal.html The Seagate archive 8T is available in an external enclosure for $180. This is the current best value out there IMO. Not as reliable as the HGST on the average IMO, And only 1 year warranty which can anyway be tricky to use due to inability to avoid shucking damage. But you are getting 3 for the price of 2!, Pretty compelling. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1268951-REG/seagate_steb8000100_8tb_expansion_desktop.html For a while the WD Easystore 8T external (which contains a WD Red 8T Helium) was available at $180 from Best Buy. Was a great deal. They have 2 yr warranty vs Seagate external 1 year, and shucking avoids damage so more easily returned under warranty. You can buy a WD MyBook 8T (can't confirm myself, but Internet accounts claim it contains the same WD Red Helium drive, and earliest models even contained the HGST 8T Helium!), for $199. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LQQHLGC/ref=psdc_595048_t2_B0718SNS6M Its a good time to buy drives! Lots of good options.
