This is the cheapest I have seen these drives so far. Last time was $265

I have 4 of these in my microserver using drive bender to make a large 16tb drive. No issues yet
Still room for an extra 2 off them for 24tb total storage. So depends on your requirements to which size drive is best.
These are also seagate XT drives inside which are 7200 so they not green, most cheap 2tb drives are greens

Umart has internal 3tb seagates with 7200 spin for $139
Installed 2 in my box today.
http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2...The drives in these boxes are seagate XT drives.
A 3tb seagate XT internal still sells for around $285 if you can still find them http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004VLZSHE/ref=dp_olp...The 3tb you quote up there is a ST version
Officeworks provides such crappy services, just ordered one yesterday and its now 5pm today and yet nothing. call them and was put on hold while some lady called the driver and after 2 min she hanged up. I called again and waiting for 10min now with the machine talking over and over again. Still no one picking up, ridiculous service. Should have bought from JB, sigh….
Would have called earlier but decided to give the driver a chance and gave him until 5pm before calling and whinging to them about parcel not coming. The fact that I had to call them 3 times for something that should have already been done. Still hasnt come, next day delivery more like next 4 days…
Their site does say call Mon-Fri 8am-8pm….

Nice price for a 4TB drive - cheapest on staticice.
Just a heads up that the 2TB drives are still $98, so if you're not overly particular about all your data being on the one drive, it's a bit cheaper (just under $0.05 per GB, $52 less).
