Just got an Email that says they are going to have a 2TB hard drive for 69.99 but it did not give any details.

I got that email too.

$199.99 10" Netbook

$89.99 20" LCD Monitor

$69.99 2TB Hard Drive

$89.99 after MIR Top-tier Brand Case

$84.99 after MIR 64GB SSD

 

 

The sale actually is for tomorrow not friday.

Im keeping my fingers crossed. Im almost done with my first build and other than the Biostar mobo being doa I am ready to go minus the hard drives. I could have been up but decided I could hold off for a week to see what deals come down. $69.99 would be worth the wait if they are good unraid drives.

They already have this one for 79.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152245

 

So it might not be that great of a deal, but tomarrow will tell, I too need to add another drive.

From what Im reading the Samsung F4's arent good for Unraid.

If the picture is any indication (and I think it is) the drive will be a Seagate.

This is true, definitely don't buy a Samsung F4 for unRAID even if it is the cheapest drive available.

What time do you think it will start?

The email and the screenshot above say 1PM PST.

That SSD looks very tempting for my HTPC at that price. Maybe a pair of them on RAID0.

Ok, I skipped that part 

no problem.....I didn't see it until you asked.

If this is the Seagate, I'm going to go for it.  If a 2TB drive goes lower on Friday or Monday, then who knows, maybe I will end up with two.. 

According to Fatwallet is going to be the Seagate.  Hmmm....I think Im going to get it as well.

Sale is on!

So are these good drives for parity? I was thinking about getting 1 of the 2 tb wd Ears for 99. and 2 of these seagates for data drives. I want to be able to run a torrent server and stream media out of my unraid. Would I be better off just spending the extra money for the WD drives? Thanks and sorry for posting out of the correct header.

The best rule of thumb is that your parity checks will run at the speed of your slowest drive.  Reads are drive specific, so only those drives that have the data you're streaming will be spinning.  Even 5400 rpm drives are sufficient to run multiple Blu-Ray streams at once.

Does anyone have any comments on the newegg comment talking about this drive's error correction mode that causes it to stop responding for some period...causing problems with raid arrays? Just want to know if anyone has vested this model as compatible with unraid.

They changed the limit from 3 per customer to 2!

unRAID does not use the drives in the way a typical raid array does so it tends not to suffer from those issues.

Newegg's servers appear to be crashing under the load!

Thank god for smart phones. Got my order for 2 of them in before the site got overloaded.

I have 5 of them in my unRAID server and they work just fine!

In for one... I'd love to be in for two, but you know.... not good to get the same drive from the same store at the same time..
