We are back at the record low for the 3TB size drive.
(For what it's worth - time to order the book that's been sitting in your Amazon cart, but not enough for free shipping, so you waited to have other items to buy.)
Almost back to BF prices ($99.99). I should have grabbed more than 2 last year...but who would have thought it would take this long. Anyway, hopefully they'll be back to the $100 mark (or below) soon.
I've been watching this drive since it was released. This price is low enough to make me pull the trigger but I need 16 of these for my NAS and amazon will only let me order 2
I guess I'll just keep waiting until this becomes the normal price.
Winter is coming. Stock up before the next flood hits.
it should be down (or near) to $100 on BF
The 1 year warranty says a lot about how much trust the manufacturer puts into the reliability of their drive.
^^^ The trust is same even it had 3 years warranty, except that you'd be like buying the extra two year warranty through the jacked up price on the product from the manufacturer instead of buying it from third party companies like SquareTrade.
I wonder if it'd work to place multiple orders with 2 in cart each time.
The warranty says nothing about the trust of the manufacturer, only that every addt'l year of warranty coverage both increases their costs and increases the # of drives they have to withhold to fulfill the warranty. Once there were only two major players left and it was known they both wanted to drop the warranty period, both did.
@BB - $99? Do you mean the per TB price that was $33? I'd not seen a 3TB drive under $120 even pre-flood.
@katmando - Ok, I'll ask - What does one do with 48TB?
3D 1080p porn takes up even 48TB quickly.
lethal - there's a long history of porn being the agent of technology, back to when the printing press was invented, the majority of work was either Bible or porn. Same with VHS machines.
Don't know the file size, but I see my TiVo showing 8MB/hour of HD video, tops. So 120 hours/TB.
The question remains, when will we be back on that normal price curve, and when will TB drop below $10?
16TB for $150, anyone?
