Seagate is giving away AUD $30 if you purchase any two NAS drives and $15 for any additional drive thereafter.
They're also offering up to $200 cashback on eligible Synology and Asustor bundles.
Seems like a great price for NAS drives, as I have been looking myself lately to buy a NAS, however Seagate drives seem to have a much higher failure rate than WD or HGST drives.. read the report from backblaze on drive failure here.
Refund and buy if you haven't used it
based on your link: WD Green is the most reliable drive among Seagate and WD? hahahaha
No, the HGSTs are.
The backblaze data is skewed by the bad 1.5TB and 3.0TB batch(es), as you can see the 4.0TB is comparable, but still higher.
Glad to see some people are able to critcally think about what they read.
Here is the latest update on the BackBlaze data

Does anyone know if you HAVE to purchase from the places listed under "Australian Resellers" to get the cashback? Or can you buy from any shop in Australia? I've read the T&C's and they are quite vague - from what I can gather you can buy them from anywhere but just want to confirm.
Well… I got halfway there I suppose, just bought 1xST2000VN000 a fortnight ago. Minimum quantity for cashback eligability is 2 and bought before promo started (13/08/2015) so no cashback for me.
