Looks like the price for the Seagate Expansion 10TB (STEB10000400) got adjusted today as it was circa $307 when I checked this morning. It's now better than the end of the last deal in June 2020 where it was hovering around $297, but keep in mind that this is fulfilled by Amazon US and hence the price will likely fluctuate on a day to day basis.

At $29.196 per TB for what is potentially a Seagate Barracuda Pro 7200rpm drive which is surprisingly rated as compatible for NAS use by Synology, this could be a great bargain way to fill your NAS! This is substantially cheaper than local bricks and mortar stock pricing which ranges from $375ish (JB Hifi - when I asked for a deal) to $448 (Harvey Norman weren't willing to budge from sticker price).

On a related note, Shopback/Cashrewards appears to still be tracking on Computing category devices so you may get 5% off!

Note this is not the cheapest it has been where it was once $275 but given the current market conditions, I think this is as good as it'll get for the time being. And don't worry you don't need to be kind to me.

EDIT 13/07/2020 - Shopback
Just got my Shopback of $13.27 making this net $278.69. Unfortunately I've already maxed out my monthly Suncorp Benefits discounted Amazon egift cards so couldn't get the further 3% off :(

EDIT 28/07/2020
Price has fallen to $285.55 (maybe combine with the $3 Cashrewards bonus on Amazon for even more cashback goodness?)

And kellyly has received an Seagate Exos X16 10TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-Inch Enterprise Hard Drive (ST10000NM001G) inside their expansion drive.

EDIT 29/07/2020
My drive arrived today and I also got the ST10000NM001G-2MW103 drive. Looks like there is a bit of a lottery going on! And in case anyone is still asking, yes it does come with the AU plug (and interestingly, an AU consumer guarantee slip).

EXPIRED
Given there is a new deal posted at the current lower price of $283.75, I will mark this deal as expired. Gotta love a strengthening AUD!

    Just doing Hard Disk Sentinel surface test now… about 10% through, and it's averaging 230MB/s… significantly faster than the WD EMAZ/EMFZ drives.

      My first pass Veeam backup finished in 16 hours instead of 5 days compared to the old Seagate 8TB Archive drive so I am happy

  Does anybody here know the instructions for using the empty case as a desktop drive with a different (samsung) hard drive in it?

    No specific instructions needed. Just put the replacement drive in the case, reversing the process you used to remove the original drive. Any SATA drive would be compatible I think. I've used a WD Red in the Seagate case without issue.

      I think this also assumes you were able to shuck the drive without breaking the enclosure/clips/etc… although I guess even with the clips broken, it still works fine.

    Someone posted a new deal for the same drive since it dropped further in price (it's an Amazon US via AU deal so it moves as the AUD/USD FX rate moves too).
