Seems to a very good price for this enterprise drive. This is essentially the same price as the consumer-level 8TB IronWolf, and $130 cheaper than the IronWolf Pro series drive. I think this is promotional pricing from Seagate as there's a few other retailers with a similar price, but Computer Alliance is the cheapest and with free delivery.
1% surcharge for Card & PayPal payments.
You can get a 10TB Seagate EXOS X10 for $223 AUD from the GB but warranty is overseas.
Thanks saw that, emailed them this morning just waiting to hear back. Is the biggest problem with overseas warranty the lag time to send / receive?
Stock is currently in Australia but I understand for the time involved in a warranty swap overseas compared to locally, that is if a locally warranty swap/fix is also quick. But you are saving $$$ so its up to you.
Any one know if these enterprise drives will go ok in a security camera NVR?
would be fine, albeit might be noisy as enterprise drives don't really have noise requirements since they're in noisy data centres.
As long as your NVR is far from your living/sleeping area, you should be fine.
For reference, I had a HGST enterprise drive sitting in a computer on the floor upstairs and every time the PC upstairs would access the hard disk, the people downstairs could hear it easily.
These any good for NAS drives? Seems to be on par with the Ironwolf NAS ones.
yep, see my comment about noise above.
Seems like these not compatible with Synology DS220+
Damn if only there were 10tb
