Got 2 from Newegg. I was about to pull the trigger for the 2TB drives too (for the same price LOL)

Is the newegg 3 year extended warranty worth purchasing?

depends, if you wanna help newegg boost their profits, yes

True, except the newegg one has a 2 year warranty, and the amazon one has a 1 year warranty.

Wow, these won't last long. Soooo tempted to buy another 3TB for the server.

Well I'm a sucker and added it in anyway.

It's only $9 for an extra 3 years of coverage and includes a prepaid shipping label if ever needed to be repaired.

 

[kleinkinstein]

Repaired? I could care less about the drive. I'd just want my data. No plan covers data recovery. The drive is replaceable and expendable.

 

[KillerBee]

I'm just the opposite - do backups so won't need data recovery.
I just want the drive replaced ... it's not like they will "repair" it

 

[The0ne]

Nice price. I've already spent close to 1k on building up my new PC. 3TB would sure reduce my hard drive count though (2TB-3TB for 6 drives). So broke, sigh...

 

[cthulhu]

Thanks OP. I grabbed 2 for an early Christmas gift to myself.

 

[fleshconsumed]

Well, we're finally back to preflood/preconsolidation prices. Now bring 4TB drives at the same price point!

BALLS

I recently caved and just bought 2 2TB drives for my NAS when I couldn't find the 3TB drives. I currently just mirror one to the other in case of a single failure.

 

[Jim]

Out of stock at Amazon already.

 

[kleinkinstein]

Hells bells, how can anyone resist $0.03/GB?!! This is ahead of preflood prices! Everyone should be quickly rethinking their storage array (both internal and external) and set some sata ports free in the process. Do so before this drive bounces back up near $150.

Are there any problems to using their DiscWizard software with a USB 2.0 interface on a laptop? Or should I just wait for a sale on a 2 Tb drive.

 

[CosmosRewind]

Nice! Thanks OP! Was thinking the $99 Costco deal was good but this is even better (was going to remove the drives from the enclosure anyhow). Ordered from NE because Amazon would only let me buy 1 (-:

 

[Jiggz]

In for 1. I need a new back up drive. The ones I have now are more than 5 years old and we all know what that means.

What does that mean? You don't keep your backup drive running all the time, do you?

 

[craftech]

A One Year warranty? Are they serious?

How reliable are these drives?

And I just bought 4 1TB Seagates from Newegg at $50 per. It felt good early this week.

 

[thujone]

omg... newegg has data recovery warranties

 

[Jiggz]

It means it is filling up and the likelihood of failure is not too far out anymore.
