83% positive and it's third party vendor what could go wrong
But Newegg…
You're not buying from Newegg. You're buying directly from a third party seller who happens to use the Newegg platform payment system. It's no different as if you bought this direct from a seller through eBay who uses the ebay payment system for payment. You buy directly from some unknown seller merchant in Hong Kong with a low rating. Now what could possibly go wrong!.
Its like a double-whammy
Some seagate exos enterprise have different warranty claim process. If the supplier purchase from Seagate via company/enterprise bulk purchase, the warranty claim need to go through that company as Seagate will not accept warranty repair from individual. Better avoid this drive, unless you want go through the trouble.
Yeah, no. Not 3rd party sellers anywhere.
83% 😂
Could you imagine if someone posted a deal from an ebay seller with 83% positive feedback?
Ozb would eat them aliveBasically no difference here apart from Newegg being used as the payment platform. Yep that's right the only thing Newegg here is the payment platform. How it got 33+ and no negative votes i don't even know.
Personally i would never risk this over a seller with a measly 83% rating and not only that shipped from Hong Kong it in my opinion is just not worth it. I don't care if Newegg is being used as the payment platform.
Should just wait for the next OzBargain group buy for enterprise HDDs.
How does one get in on these?

I joined last month's GB and got a 16TB X16 for $345 delivered.
Setup a search alert for
type:classified user:41945and come back in 3 months or so…@Neology: I would also appreciate knowing the next time this occurs. I have two raid arrays I want to upgrade in the next few months!
@Neology: Just a side note that I can vouch for the neology group buys. Seagate X16 arrived quickly and well packed, and of course at a great price. Thanks for organising neology.
Can this be used as surveillance HDD? What is the difference?
I use the enterprise HDD for surveillance and it is fine.
Surveillance HDD has firmware optimised for video recording, but may not be suitable for data storage. And enterprise HDD can be used for both.
Restocked! @$353.10
Thanks, updated!
83%? Not good.
Third party newegg = no hope, iirc?
