    you know… if you get one of these bad boys… you basically need to get a 2nd to keep a backup…. cos 4TB is a LOT of goodies that can disappear instantly

    • [Deactivated] on 22/11/2012 - 20:28

      slowly replacing all my 1tb drives (6) in my N40L with these babies.

        Cool, so it definitely works? I just got a N40L a month or two ago but just using 250GB as OS/program files and 1x1.5TB drive until I sort out which ones I'm going to use. Might jump on two of these.

        • [Deactivated] on 22/11/2012 - 20:37

          works in all places except the boot drive is limited to 2tb. if you use linux, just use the internal usb to boot from.

      Well Deathstars are now made by Hitachi.. not IBM.

      Actually i'm starting to experience issues on my 500gb sea-gate. I'm like wtf…

        • MATTDAMON on 22/11/2012 - 23:13

          Lol if I wanted to flip them for a profit I would of bought all the stock available. I originally bought the 12 for a new raid array, seriously considering another 12 to fill a norco 4224 (makes it simpler then + I can run a 24 drive raid 60 for 72.6tb usable partition)

        • StewBalls on 23/11/2012 - 10:38

          People around here have selective memories…I can recall Copie stating on NUMEROUS OCCASIONS that he has a bona fide use for a large number of hard drives in his RAID arrays.

          I don't ever recall him bragging about Brodening anything…

        • the discombobulated… on 23/11/2012 - 10:55

          In any case, hope he's prepared to pay GST+customs fees on them.

          6 orders of 4 different names different addresses. So no.

          Customs are more than happy to collate such things and treat them as one shipment. Friend of mine got burnt in that exact manner.

          Considering the 6 orders will be going from 1 company to 1 individual at the same time I would seriously consider budgeting for the eventuality.

          Obviously you cannot read, they are going to 6 legitimate different people (other half, mother, father, work boss and work mate) and 6 different addresses, they wont and cannot know, besides i know everyone who works at the Mascot UPS center.

      it's the same world-wide, no difference buying it here or there. generally gets shipped to an asian country and they send back a refurb unit anywhere.

          you do. of course. they then express ship it back to wherever you are at THEIR cost.

          it's the same all around the world.

        • Junkee on 22/11/2012 - 20:58

          But will they will ship it back to an AUS address??

          I thought because it was a US drive it would have to be sent back to a US address?

          Although I had a quick look at Western Digital's 'Out of Region' policy and from what I can gather from it is that you CAN get a replacement if it's out of region.

          Here is the link: https://websupport.wdc.com/help/help_ooreligibility.asp

      • Jabba the Hutt on 22/11/2012 - 23:02

        it's the same world-wide, no difference buying it here or there.

        Significant difference here is you get a statutory warranty, so even though WD drives had a similar "ship it back to Malaysia at your expense and wait several weeks for replacement" policy, I was able to instead take my deceased ten month old 3TB back to MSY for an on the spot replacement.

        Although the price is so good in this deal, it's probably worth the gamble on warranty.

  • superroach on 22/11/2012 - 20:31

        Our first PC had a 5.25" 20MB HDD. From memory my slice of that pie was about 1MB. That would almost last forever to fill up with our 2400 baud modem.

        EDIT: 286/8Mhz (with turbo mode = 10Mhz)
        FYI: By the 386 days we were pushing the 100MB barrier

        http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/22567/%20Acorn%20BBC%…

        Btw, the system was a BBC Micro, Turbo edition w/128KB's of RAM. The normal systems came with only 32KB, while the fastest unit could be purchased with 512KB's of RAM, and would run DOS. Well it would try to 'run' it. Took forever due to emulation constraints.

        True, but it's ~$50 per GB vs. ~$55 per GB (and would require shipping overseas if something malfunctions).

        • Keeno on 22/11/2012 - 22:06

          I wonder this too, I think it may be the 24x7 availability jmone references above, meaning it is a better drive for NAS / servers like the western digital red which is more like $65 per GB
