I need the opinion of some of the Big heavy Hitters about a hard drive

I am looking for the feeling about this hard drive
Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST4000NM0033 4TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise Internal Hard Drive
I have a chance to get them CHEAP brand new Factory Sealed
and i get them for $145 each if i order 40 of them and shipping of $175 for a total of $5975 which comes out to $37.34 a TB which i am trying to find out if that is a Good Price??

I think the price is good for enterprise drives, but you should also take a look at prices on Amazon for comparison:
Seagate 4 TB internal

@Propagandalf Yea even using purse.io to buy from amazon cost more then buying the drives via the way i posted above is still cheaper for thoes drives by about $200 or so
to buy 40 drives via purse.io would cost $6153.52

@Gibsalot I dont have access to USB 3.0 on any of my servers

@Njcfamily31907 My hp didnt have usb3.0 so I bought a controller card.

I can sell them to you for cheaper than that. If you look at my asset comparison I sell them in my asset for $36/TB and you dont have to worry about electricity, plotting, drive failure or anything.

So if you want to buy them I would do them for $125 plus shipping. I am in Canada though so depending on your location shipping could kill the deal. No minimum order quantity either, but I think you would save on shipping the more you wanted. They would all be either 4, 6 or 8TB drives. Nothing smaller.
