Cheap 8TB Drives, 299.99 CAD
-
@AngryChicken , heres what happened. They are normally $239. About a month ago the were reduced to $159, I picked up one on Purse with, IIRC a 12-14% discount. Then I was going to get another but they were back to $239. A few days ago I saw them for $189 and figured I didn't really need them but if I could get a 25% discount on Purse, well so be it. I put in for 24% not thinking it would get picked up and within a few hours the order was processed. $20/TB new is a good price.

@rds Props guy, that's awesome.
-
@rds DAM! That be 214 CAD!!! lucky.
Were they the same model as OP?
BTW do you plan on opening them? or just using the stock enclosure?
-
@AngryChicken Good find bro, have you tried opening these?
-
@Havoc Yea, I have. There's a real sata drive in there, but you nearly destroy the casing.
These are the easiest cases to open without destroying the casing http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178682&cm_re=8tb-I like these because if you keep the case intact the warranty is still good. But do go for the one with the two usb ports on the front if you plan to open them as I cut myself a lot and almost damaged the drive getting the damn thing open not to mention the thing was broken into 5 pieces
-
@Havoc, the ones I got were seagate with none of the cloud stuff, like the OP drives, which I guess is just installed software. I don't open them, I use the usb 3.0 to connect. I take the 8TB and reformat NTFS with 64k sectors, and partition into 2, 4TB drives.
-
This isn't such a good price :/ I bought the same seagate (4 times) for US $159.99 (215.08$ CAD) just before Christmas, I wanted to buy more on boxing day, and what is strange is that it was more expensive there than before any "special buy sale" LoL
-
@Zeus where did you get them?
-
@falconCoin It was at Amazon, I was about to use Purse to get an extra % down, but got too scared of using the service after reading some nightmares haha, $159.99 for 8 TB is still a pretty good price, my colleagues paid almost that for a WD 2 TB ^_^
-
And BestBuy Canada had a boxing day special 8TB Seagate Hub Plus drives for 199.99
-
@Focus whoa still up?
