A very good deal. Also 14TB for A$268.24. As per the previous deals warranty is 3 years via them. Check previous deals for comments and check eBay Feedback. Shipping is usually via FedEx and quick, though a few people from the previous deal posted are still awaiting delivery so postage option varies it seems. For confirmation on delivery method if you need them quick please contact seller.

Also they have the following at excellent pricing for brand new OEM drives-

    With how big platter drives are getting now, the rebuild times must be getting insane on arrays (and the higher the risk of a second drive failing).

      $15.88/TB gotta be a new record.

    • BargainKen on 28/12/2023 - 20:26

      Comes to $195 USD, compared to $192 USD advertised. Still a good price but they're gaming the conversion rate a little.
      Also wont let you do any more than 3 drives if you're planning to buy a few.

      • Spizz on 28/12/2023 - 20:40

        Still a bargain which ever way you look at it.

      Just placed my order for 2* 18TB. At that price ($286 each) it was to hard to pass up.

        Hadn't bought a new HDD in years.

        If I wasn't so concerned about them either selling out or raising their prices, I would have tried to see if a few mates were interested and then asked for an additional discount.

      Thinking of doing the same but getting 8 drives over three orders to put in a DS1821+. Just not sure if I should wait till the first three arrive just in case…

      • Spizz on 29/12/2023 - 09:05

        Reports from the last bargain show that shipping could take up to a month. But that may have been due to the Christmas period and only affected a few people. Something to factor in if you need them urgently.

        • Wayne7497 on 29/12/2023 - 10:00

          Your lucky i got 168 x 4tb sas drives coming from USA reckon way usps works march lol.

          • shiprekt on 29/12/2023 - 11:01

            @Wayne7497: How's the tax on that?

            • Wayne7497 on 29/12/2023 - 11:19

              @shiprekt: $157.90 USD. Total price including shipping $2700.00AU so $16 Au per drive or about $4au per tb.

                168 x 4tb sas drives

                Total price including shipping $2700.00AU

                Interestingly at 7.5W per drive, they're going to draw about 1.2KW in total - if they run 24/7 then at 25c per KW you're looking at almost exactly the same $2700 in annual electricity to run them 😎

        I didn't want to miss out on the deal, and there is no concrete evidence to suggest any foul miss play. Obviously Christmas period will delay delivery, but I'm confident. Drives are an absolute bargain

        • Spizz on 29/12/2023 - 14:13

          Wasn't suggesting anything untoward just setting expectations in case delays in orders arriving once posted.

          Fed Ex tracking received 24 hours after postage. Seems all four drives ( even though ordered separately due to 3 limitation). Have been shipped

          • Spizz on 30/12/2023 - 00:38

            @Squizzy: Got my tracking number to, however it seems mine is via Hong Kong Post instead of via Fedex, so it seems there is a variety of shipping methods used.

              @Spizz: Got my tracking as well but I opted for free shipping so I've got the tracking number but is still to be scanned.

              Going to do another 3 this morning via express.

              • Spizz on 30/12/2023 - 09:33

                @shiprekt: Nice. Which drives are you getting?

                  +1

                  @Spizz: Just half a dozen 16tbs. I probably should have got the 18tbs though I was unsure if I'd have compatibility issues with my Synology

                  • Spizz on 30/12/2023 - 14:39

                    @shiprekt: I’m going to be changing from DS920 to a DS1821 and I have 2 drives on the way which gives me 6 drives total. But I’ve heard changing from SHR1 to SHR2 can take a month so I’ll probably order the last 2 18TB once that’s done.

                    • shiprekt on 30/12/2023 - 14:50

                      @Spizz: I'm spewing I didn't pick up a DS1821 when they were on sale earlier in the month. Currently running a full DS920+ (4x10tbs) with a full DX517 (5x16tbs).

                      So not sure if I wait to get a DS1821 when they are cheaper or swap out the 10s with the new 16s or build something utilising something like a Fractal Node 804 and not have two Synology setups.

                      • Spizz on 30/12/2023 - 18:22

                        @shiprekt: How much was the DS1821 during the sales?

                        • shiprekt on 30/12/2023 - 18:54

                          @Spizz: Around $1400. Not a massive sale price and definitely not the cheapest they have gone for in the past. They are around $1600-1700+ now.

                          Might have to play the waiting game for a better deal to arise for the 1821.

                          Someone got a killer deal on Amazon this year.

                          • Spizz on 30/12/2023 - 21:02

                            @shiprekt: $1399 @ Centercom

                              Got to run the numbers and see if it's worth building something this time with like a Fractal Design Node or the likes instead of having two Synology setups.

                    @Spizz: Is there any way of knowing that or will ED provide this if asked?

                    • Spizz on 02/01/2024 - 18:15

                      @shiprekt: Doesn't hurt to ask, however with the volume of orders I 'm assuming its one of those wait and see, that's why I'm asking people that receive their orders what dates they got to get a few data points.

                      Tempted to order another 2 drives, however converting my Synology from SHR1 to SHR2 will take a month apparently so will do that when I receive my order and then after its done, hopefully they still have the 18TB listed at below $300 and Ill pick up a few more.

                      • shiprekt on 02/01/2024 - 18:34

                        @Spizz: I'm regretting getting the x16 16TBs, was thinking I might have issues with compatibility (with Synology). But maybe I should have got the x18 18tbs instead.

                        I've had my tracking update with Auspost now from my 29/12 order.

                        Yet to receive any update from the 30/12 order but being close to end of the year probably a delay.

                          I'm planning to have 8 drives in a 1821 and will be going with SHR2.

                          Have a look into it though and I guess it depends what you're storing. If it's personal stuff that irreplaceable then maybe SHR2 will give more peace of mind but yeah definitely have an extra back up if you can.

                                I contacted them and they have said to be patient as they have a large number of orders to work through. It appears they are not necessarily going through them in order though.

    With these new items added, I wonder if I should have gotten 4x used 14TB HC530s for a ZFS within it's own station instead of the 2x new 18TB exos 18. At first when I was looking at them, I'm like "What the (profanity) why are they selling HC550s so cheap!" After 20 minutes of back and fourth of pages I realized that they have used in their description.

    I saw some listings before for used 20TB exo 20s for like 250ea w/ a 2yr warranty, maybe if I could have justified getting a third or fourth for parity repairs, I might have stuck my toe in the used market.

      Not that I purchased used drives due to the risk, but where did you see the 20TB for $250? Agreed ref HC550. They have been $$$ for a while now. Maybe a shortage on stock supply.

        On one of the HDD deal posts today I clicked on one of the recommended/alternative choices at the bottom. I think it might have been Ebay from this page's deal closer to when it got put up.
        I kept the tab open until I finalised my HDD transaction from earlier.

          Probably in USD

            @BargainKen: No. It clearly does the conversion on the page and shows both values, not the kind of mistake that would happen.
            I think it was two sixty something.

    Thanks OP and others for the shopify link - dipping my toe with Seagate after a long time with WD.

    Have 36 Terra inbound, as it was too hard to pass up even at the 'higher' $294 price

    • Spizz on 30/12/2023 - 23:23

      Nice. This high price is still a bargain.

    For those that receive the X18 EXOS - what is the DOM - date of manufacture?

  • 7hil on 31/12/2023 - 18:43

    I’m putting in my Australian address to the Shopify website and it’s saying that they won’t post here.

      Try again with a lower number of drives.

      • 7hil on 31/12/2023 - 21:46

        Ah cheers

      • 7hil on 31/12/2023 - 21:49

        Free shipping. Is that right?

  • 9hundred on 02/01/2024 - 10:25

    I downloaded the SHOP app to track my order, but it's not showing anything, and it can't find any previous orders from my email?…………..

    • Spizz on 02/01/2024 - 12:47

      My SHOP is still showing the order and tracking within.

      • 9hundred on 02/01/2024 - 12:56

        hmmmmmmm sus

        • Spizz on 02/01/2024 - 15:41

          Just use the tracking number on its own either via Australia Post website or via 17track or via the Hong Kong Post website. Unless you got lucky and got Fedex delivery in which case check the Fedex website.

          • 9hundred on 03/01/2024 - 08:48

            @Spizz: The thing is that I didn't get a tracking number. Just an order number. "Thanks for your order, download SHOP to track it"
