Amazon has the Logitech G27 wheel setup for $191.00. That's the lowest I can ever remember seeing it. Of course the G29/G920 are out, so that might be helping with the G27's price too.
 
Cheapest I've seen decent 4TB drives I think was about $150

Here's the HGST 4TB NAS drives:

I'm liking the 6 that I have quite well :)

Yeah keeping an eye on those 4TB drives. Newegg has those for $140 right now.

or you can look at the Seagates for $120

Im personally torn on what to do with it.
 
Friends don't let friends buy Seagate drives. HGST or WD all day long

+1 We've had a bad failure rate with Seagate at work. ~ 7% failure rate with Seagate/Samsung on about 250 units. Compared to ~1% with WD on about 500. HGST has the best reviews right now but we all know that over time, these things tend to change.
 
I'll probably be taking a plunge on Toshiba's new X300 lineup myself for testing. The WD Blacks I run are starting to get louder, both of them with one getting a bit worse, so I'll pick up the Toshibas here soon then talk to WD about replacing these drives.

I was looking at those the other day, and did a quick search to get some background. They are marketing them for the high end market but they dropped the warranty down from 3 years to two compared to the previous gen that had 3 years:

How old are your blacks? All of the blacks I have had have lasted over 6-yrs of daily use. My Velociraptors (Raid-0) lasted 7.5 years before they started to go.
 
3 or 4 years old, both warranties good through 2017, so no big deal.

I need a bump up in size anyway, at least for one of the drives, but since the current are getting louder just grabbing 2 of the X300 is probably what I'll end up doing.
