Cheapest 2TB Drive?

Lblazed on 31/07/2012 - 08:22

I'm looking to add a couple of 2TB drives to my NAS.

This looks like the cheapest deal on offer?

Seagate 2TB Expansion External Desktop Hard Drive USB 3.0 for $117 each.

Cheers

I'm assuming you're gonna rip the drives out of the enclosure?

Probably no need if something like this is compatible with your NAS:

  That has been there for months and they have never had stock.
  
  OP, unless you can get them for $99 each or less, don't buy external. Its not worth losing the warranty for taking it out of the case
  
  Get something like this for $113 http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_review.phtml?id=10&bid=…
  
  Seagate SATA3 2TB 7200RPM Barracuda 64mb Cache
  
  You can even go down to $109 if you don't mind green drives.
