CamelCamelCamel.
Depends how many Linux ISOs you need to backup and store
Buy now . Buyer remorse later
We don’t think. We buy
Is this the pronsters drive of choice? Asking for a friend.
OZB don’t use storage for pron. we stream for free!
Sham on your friend
You mean need ”another” 12tb drive
Shuckable?
All 3.5" drives are, you will have to do the pin mod on these ones if you want to run it in your PC though. Some NAS will accept it no problem without the mod.
I didn't have to do a pin mod to run it in my hpe microserver gen10.
I’ve been shucking these (the 12tb specifically) for a couple of years. They’re running in my NAS just fine.
You will need to do a pin-tape mod on the sata pins, which is pretty simple.
Annoyed at Amazon, I bought this drive for $340 this morning, and instead of a credit they told me to place another order at the cheaper price and return the first order. Weird.
Amazon refuses to price match/credit for change of mind.
Yet they allow no questions asked returns even if you have opened & used the product. Makes you wonder.
Having had a store on Amazon I can tell you that they have Zero care for the seller. You have problem as a customer, whether it's Amazon fault or not, seller pays.
In this case, they would charge back to seller, which is why they don't care whether you used it or not… They make their money either way… Sad
@eototo: Curious about this.
I bought a hard drive cable last week for $25 that just burnt out when I plugged it in. Returned it to Amazon using their AusPost label service. Does the seller have to absorb the full $25 and cover the return postage?
The only theory I have is that offering credits like that is an avenue for fraud, as they’d have to monitor the CS agents credits and make sure they were legit.
A straight refund for change of mind; at least they get the stock back and it’s simpler.
@dvydra: Even just making people return is friction which means many will not bother, thus overall probably more $$$ even if it costs them more to handle a return for the people that do.
You don't really need to monitor CS agents that hard, some retailer automatically issue/d (store) credits if the price lowers within 14 days, so the ability to make such a system bound by whether someone has actually placed an order isn't that hard.

Priced items and less on discounted one to drive more sales
What type of NAS? I'm considering for a Synology.
Got 8x of them in my DS1819+ almost two years ago. So far so good.
No pin mod needed, just simply shuck them and put in the chassis.
Full speed rebuild, definitely no SMR.
purchased in july and work in my 916+ with no pin mod, synology will say the drive is unsupported however.
suggest you run the drive through hd sentinel or something first to check the drive before shucking.
look on here, there are few posts marked as expired, but you can usually still download it.
No mod req'd for my Synology NAS…
Never had to do it for my QNAP either.
Try contacting them via a chat line again. I bought one three days ago and got a $40 refund within a few minutes with no questions asked.
What drives are in them?
Don't forget to buy Amazon gift cards from Shopback app for your payment method.
With the 2% cashback you get $6.20 back on $310 worth of gift cards.
There is also a shopback challenge running until midnight that gives you $2 for spending $5 on giftcards so you would get a total of $8.20 back.
Not bad price i paid $299 in 2020
It is a bad price. They should have dropped in the past 2 years.
I grabbed a 16TB the other day, that works out to be much the same $ per TB:

It appears to be the lowest price it's been for a while:

I have 6 of these in my Unraid NAS. Have for ages. Just got 2 more. Cheers for the deal!
Do you need the pin mod on unraid?
Pin mod is a solution for a hardware issue, not software / OS issue AFAIK.
Paid $325 for 14tb one not long ago. Unless you really need 12tb might be better waiting for the 14tb to come down in price again
As someone who has one of these and the Seagate equivalent, I’d wait for the Seagate as it’s noticeably faster. Currently using the WD as my default download directory and I dread having to unrar large downloads
No pin mod needed with Seagate either
Depends on needs really
Thanks OP. Was waiting for this. Grabbed 2
I need to "rethink": Do I really need a 12TB hard drive?
