TOSHIBA 3TB 7200RPM Internal HDD - $128 @ IT Estate - 6 March Only

540

This appears to be the cheapest internal 7200rpm 3TB drive on staticice.

An alternative to buying a USB 3.0 external enclosure and cracking it open….

Also not a bad price on a non-gaming I7 3770 PC = $549

          OP's previous deals have been fishing and big man clothing related so unlikely.

          assuming models get AT lEAST $5k per movie, thats $900000 excl endorsements and modelling

          thats a bargain deal she got

  • I got one of these. Normally I only use 7200rpm HDDs for external backup, but this one is quiet enough for me to put in PC case.

  • I don't have any more slots left on my mobo…

    • dat feel

      • I know bro, need to buy a new mobo. Maxed out with 4 HDDS and 1 Blu Ray drive. u?

        • i unplugged my dvd drive

          aint nobody got time fo dat disc stuff

        • get a pci expansion card? or maybe just start stacking things all on USB3 hub? I don't see a problem with it unless you're planning on raid5 on all of them.

  • I'm after a 3rd HDD for storage.

    What is the main difference between this drive and a 3TB Seagate/WD HDD from MSY that can also be had for ~$135-139? Spin speeds? Don't think that it's all that important if it's solely for mass storage.

    • This one would work fine in a NAS unlike the WD Greens which are variable speed

    • If only for external backup, either the Seagate or Toshiba is fine. If inside case, I'd prefer Toshiba because Seagate is quite noisy. I'm quite fond of WD 1TB/2TB Greens but the 3TB Green is simply not good for any purpose, not fast and not quiet.

      • I've got both 3tb of the seagate and wd green. They both did 90-105mb/s on sata 3 when they were brand new. Seek times on the green might be slower, but it's not useless.

        • No it's not useless, just inferior. BTW your Seagate 3TB speed is abnormally slow.

  • Can I put this as a boot drive on an older Core 2 machine?

    • Not a problem. You might need to update SATA controller drivers and install the Intel RST driver for the mobo.

  • Hmm, I'm quite fond of the WD Red NAS drives…I wonder how these go.

  • $25 Fastway Courier to Perth :/

  • 5940 rpm

  • Is this something like WD Red 3TB HDD? Good for HP N40L server?

    • They're NAS drives, so if the HP is used as a NAS/24x7 PC, then yes.

  • $62 shipping to Broome :(

    for up to 5 drives.

  • My experience is that Toshiba reliability is worse than WD and Seagate.

    Not sure if it has improved?

    • I'd wager these are what used to be Hitachi drives -> http://www.anandtech.com/show/5635/western-digital-to-sell-h… (or similar to at least).

      I've had hit-and-miss experience with recent hitachi's

      • Yeah these are restickered Hitachi's. They are even recongised as Hitachi's on my raid card.

        ordered 4 as cold spares for my raid arrays, such an awesome price.

        • Toshiba = Hitachi = WD ?

          Its hard to keep track of who own who nowadays…

        • Well WD owns them all, however because of US law, they could not roll them into the WD labelling, hence why its still seperate.

        • Not quite true, Toshiba took over the Hitachi Desktop drive plant and rebadged the drives as Toshiba. They used to be a major player in the 2.5" laptop drive market.

        • WD owns part of Toshiba ergo the cycle is complete.

          Also for whoever has a hard on for me and is negging all of my posts.

          Clearly lists 3tb, ill go check one of my current toshibas now and check the warranty on it.

          Edit, came up on the Hiatchi website.

          Expiration 2015-09-14

  • really only 12 months warranty?

    • Especially when its being reported elsewhere as 3 year warranty.

  • IT Estate Price: (Inc. GST) $169

    Did I miss the boat? its only 5.52pm

    • Front page sales : Special Quantity Sold Out

      Product page says they sold over 200…

  • First page is $128, however it will rise to original price $168 after clicking the products.

  • Are you serious??? No way………..does this fit in a 2.5" bay ie. is it one of those slightly fat 2.5" drives? If not that's an amazing deal.

    • -1

      No its a 3.5 inch drive.

      • Ah, that makes more sense. I saw internal and forgot that normal people own desktops.

  • Pretty sure it ended at 5pm or so…

  • 3Tb is a lot of space…. with 4Tb now entering the market I expect prices to drop in due course and 3Tb for $100 will be soon common…

  • I don't like it…..!

  • +2

    My screen says $39 per drive… sounds a tad too good.

    • Same - but cannot order, gets stuck on the last stage. Now the websites down

      • 2nd time lucky, worked.

  • There is no way in hell they will honor the price. But ordered some for my upcoming file server anyway for lol's

  • Let us know if they honor it haha…

    I was about to order it at $39 but decided not to, figured they'll cancel it anyway.

  • Orders with the $39 error will be cancelled and refunded http://www.itestate.com.au/pages/websiteinformation/wbi_news…
