excellent prices on these. may have to pick up a few 4TB units for my server.

darknite · 22 Jul 2015 at 10:07

On the 4TB NAS drive i'm assuming there is very little wiggle room in the prices. While I am itching to buy another one I don't think a £2.29 saving vs a competitor is worth it when losing 24 months warranty.

But I also don't know at what price point I would hit buy as funds are tight. I'm down to 1Tb on a 12tb array so know I need to soon though....

TwsT · 22 Jul 2015 at 10:15

probably not NAS has had some really good promotions in June so some suppliers may still have lots of left over stock allowing them to match the lower price and keep the warranty high.

I've split the sku's so people know we're not trying to deceive them. Stock isn't mixed to average prices either. Some people will take the saving others won't

darknite · 22 Jul 2015 at 10:22

Yeah got told about hard drive offers in June July 1st by a guy who knew I was after a drive. . . . Think that NAS drive dropped to £108 on one site. . . . annoying. But never mind. Will be other offers :-)

I take it these are desktop HDDs and not laptop size?

Desktop.

There is no physical difference but they come from other regions where lower price policies are in use and purchased in euros and as such the strong gbp means our purchase price is much lower.

As they don't come from UK distributor they don't have full 3yr and warranty is with Ocuk and is 1yr.

Some resellers mix stock and take gamble, we'd just be honest and list separate with reduced warranty for reduced price.

Good prices.

TheGentry · 22 Jul 2015 at 11:03

Was waiting for the seagate ripping for unreliability but has that changed now?

TwsT · 22 Jul 2015 at 11:20

We've used seagate in our systems for a very long time. Very few returns in general but even less for HDD issues

had 8TB of seagate consumer grade under 24/7 use at home for around three years now.

wouldn't touch another brand of drives personally, but then I purchase my own storage based on having access to the OcUK return rates

chippy08 · 22 Jul 2015 at 13:08

Good prices but its a shame there seagate and not WD

HungryHippos · 22 Jul 2015 at 13:32

You guys need to look at your WD red pricing, for 3TB for example you are about 10% higher than the forest.

P.S I still prefer to use you for most things if the difference is small, keep up the good work!

Vinno · 22 Jul 2015 at 13:36

Boggles my mind how cheap hard drives are now. 1TB for 35 quid. What a time to be alive!

I remember the days when a HDD was 600mb! was loads of space for games at the time as they required the disks to run as well lol

Oh yeh, my first PC had a mahoosive 120MB drive in it!

Also remember agonising whether to get it with 4 or 8MB of ram!

Went with 4MB in the end because it was £30(!) a MB back in those days and I didn't want to pay an extra £120 for the privilege!
