Came across this drive while planning my NAS upgrade, comes to $31.8/TB

Seems like the cheapest 16TB around at the moment.

Also, for checking disk prices, here are 2 sites to keep bookmarked

        On my machine Newegg actually says A$509.30 incl. GST & shipping, but the mods changed the price to A$511.87

            @jv: Maybe because qty? If you actually get to checkout, 2 disks are $1021.8 so $510.9ea, if you order 3 it's $539.88ea

  Hows Newegg delivery packaging compared to the Amazon UK？

    I bought these a few days ago, and they just arrived today. They packaged it very very well. The Hard drives were very well padded in a small box, and the small box was in a larger box that had some filler material. I think they would have survived the journey, but will be doing my own tests to make sure it is ok.

    Hope that helps.

      Thanks for your feedback. I will feel comfortable ordering disks from NewEgg.

  Its listed as these having a 5yr warranty, do these warrantys apply in AU via Toshiba or elsewhere?

  Not too bad a price for a 5yr drive,

    This was somewhat cheaper elsewhere recently. Was going to get a couple but then read warranty is almost impossible. Not sure how Newegg handles a warranty claim.

    Toshiba don't have a warranty service, so you'll need to send these back to NewEgg USA when they fail.
    Good luck when you need to do this 4 years from now 👍
