Rajahal Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The best 8 TB drive deal got even better: Seagate Expansion 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STEB8000100) Currently $142.49. I ordered one yesterday, it arrived today, and I just shucked it to reveal an 8 TB Seagate Barracuda Compute ST8000DM004, identical to this one selling for $210. I have one of these already as my parity drive, purchased and shucked a few months ago. Same model as above. The major downside is of course voiding the 1 year warranty by shucking the drive, so there's a gamble there. A more sagacious person would probably run burn in testing on the drive before shucking it, but I'm much too impatient for all that 1 Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I have shucked more than half a dozen of these in the past year, for me they have been very reliable and I’ve not had one fail. Quote Link to comment
