    Am I missing something with getting free shipping? Shows up as $16.95 std delivery when I go through the checkout process.

    EDIT: Have to be a registered user to get it, I was checking out as guest.

  • Kossac on 03/04/2017 - 13:50

    hey all :)

    Just wondering are these ok to use in a NAS?

    Cheers!

    • skuzy on 03/04/2017 - 13:57

      thinking the exact same thing..

      You will be better off with a more reliable drive for a nads, but honestly I don't think it matters.

      If you're putting unimportant data on it, like a game exe/folder, week cares if it dies. If you're putting irreplaceable data on it, like photos, then you should ALWAYS have a backup, so if this drive breaks, who cares (you have a backup).

      Don't get me wrong, I'd never recommend this for a high workload environment.

      • syousef on 03/04/2017 - 14:05

        It matters. Restoring terrabytes of data is a pain no matter how well organised you are.

        I had another Seagate die on the weekend for me. I didn't note the data but I got 2-3 years out of that one based on when I stopped buying Seagates. I use to buy a mix of Seagate and Western Digital. I've had 1 WD drive fail and a stack of Seagate of different models. The Seagate external drives always report they run hotter. I think that's part of the issue.

        • incipient on 03/04/2017 - 14:53

          In terms of absolute reliability, it does matter. I'd take a wd red over one of these any day. A 2tb red is also $130 pickup from msy. For nearly twice the price (with shipping) this drive will make for an appealing option.

          Depending on your setup, restoring data can be quite simple. I use snapraid and a quick -rebuild command puts everything back to normal.

        • syousef on 03/04/2017 - 15:36

          @incipient:

          Not using raid. Multiple external USB drives set up to NTFS mounted directories. It allows the drives to be presented under a single Windows share, which is important for my purposes. Would love to do it properly but not prepared to spend big on NAS enclosures etc, when cheap USB drives do the job.

          Copying a 4TB drive over took under 24 hours and required one copy command issued (via GUI - Teracopy) but with a dying drive I kept an eye on it. Then I ran a surface scan in HD Sentinel to determine which files had been affected by the dying sectors. I ran checksums on that handful of files and checked against a second copy from my backup media. They matched. So no further recovery needed. I'd be more thorough (checking all files) if the data on this particular drive was irreplaceable.

          The dying drive is very much toast. Bad sectors went from 8 to 33 then to 83 during the copy.

          HD Sentinel is great but default warning levels are awful. A drive with 8 bad sectors still shows as green unless you change the thresholds.

    • Kossac on 03/04/2017 - 14:33

      So whats the verdict? Ive read a little on WD red for instance. would it better to wait for a sale on those and buy up?

      • incipient on 03/04/2017 - 14:58

        Check msy for good benchmark pricing. Last eBay 20% sale got a wd red 3tb down to $1 cheaper than msy ($161 vs $160). It's not a hard and fast rule, but it gives you an idea.

        I personally went with a 3tb red for $161 over a 3tb seagate for about $125. For me the reliability was worth it. My parity drive however is some cheap desktop class seagate.

      Depends.

      If you're backing up your music and files onto a redundant array and saving for a holiday then the slight difference in failure rate is probably acceptable (what's the chance of two drives failing simultaneously?) and you should be more worried about theft, catastrophic failure, fire, etc.

      If you're running a business then for goodness sake just pay the $30 extra.

      edit: noticed my comment is almost identical to incipient

      • kipps on 03/04/2017 - 16:12

        Be careful even with RAID5 for large arrays. The experts are warning that the rebuild times are getting so long with large drives that the probability of failure of a second drive during a rebuild is getting unacceptably high. Google has tonnes of articles about this.

    • Beanvee on 03/04/2017 - 16:25

      Greens aren't intended for frequent read/write. If you're going to store and forget, then sure. If you're going to be constantly adding to and streaming from it, probably not.

      Had 3 of these in my NAS for the last 3 years. One died after just 12mths the other at around 3 years. So 2/3 failed with minimal use didn't impress me.

      I've now moved away from Seagate.

  • Reverse Snorkel on 03/04/2017 - 15:49

    Seriously, I have had 2 of these 2TB seagate drives fail in the past 6 months. Warning to those who think this is a good deal.

  • xuqi on 04/04/2017 - 12:24

    It's difficult to obtain accurate info on HDD failure rates, as very few companies publish such info. Even if they did the HDD's used by larger entities would be enterprise class drives, often too expensive for the average user.

  • JagJag on 04/04/2017 - 17:17

    I have been using Seagate desktop drive in NAS for over 5 years now, 6 X 2Tb in Z2 raid (movies and data). Admittedly it fail and most of the time is out of warranty. Not saying Seagate is the most reliable, i live in Sydney RMA with Seagate is painless. I own WD before and RMA required to send oversea which not worth it. Hopefully its no longer the case.

  • Doktor S on 18/04/2017 - 12:46

    Fleagate are no longer the leading brand they were. In the past 3 months I have had 4 drives die on me, with various years of use.
    For the newer models, do your reasearch if you dont believe, however:
    - Read speeds never reach as advertised, new models are throttled to 6000rpm at most.
    - You are better off saving your dollarydoos and going for a toshiba or hitachi
