Just wow.

Too bad I recently bought pants that were nearly as expensive as that.

Platters are gettin cheaper and cheaper, lol. Still can't find any 5TB platters, but WD says they're releasing some at the end of 2013.

XD, Some hyperbole - I bought these
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VM6VJW/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But they were nearly $100 with shipping :L

Anyway. This is the first time I've seen where a 4TB drive is cheaper than two 2TB drives in the same product line. Good, means they're perfecting they're grasp on the tech.

These would be amazing in a NAS, I bet.

If I had the $$$, I'd grab a couple of these plus a raid card to toss in my NAS. Because why not?

They had Seagate 4tb at Costco on sale a while back for $140 They are $170 or $180 normally.

Those look like pants strait out of a final fantasy video game. Kind of funny really.

trip died in the late 90's... I remember when they were cool (as someone who actually had a couple pairs because i'm a metalhead)
those pants are embarrassing to look at today.

I have the same issue. Aditionally, I can't seem to sit still in front of the actual TV. I like watching stuff better on my computer, where I can have a game (one that's time consuming, like SWTOR or Europa Universallis III) running at the same time.

Metalhead? Q_Q they're originally from European/American raves. But I like em. Hot Topic was pushing their new line of them on Facebook when I took interest, honestly I've never seen anyone wearing them at my high school except for one emo kid who would never say a word and just moped around. I didn't even know what they were called previous to Hot Topic tryin to sell em, theirs were ugly though. Eh. I needed to breakup the constant skinny jeans ive been wearin lately. What's old to many is new to me! lols. What kind of metal do you like? I , personally, like to Scream Bloody Gore

Partially why I bought them, they reminded me of the pants I had for my character on APB:R

Wish I had the extra money. Would go nice in the build I am planning.

jivetrky · Mar 22, 2013

Ugh, my 9.5TB only has 300GB free. I'm sure I could clean it up a little but I still really need some space! Would love to upgrade all my drives to 4TB.

thor17usa · Mar 22, 2013

This is a sweet deal. I'm sure someone will jump on it.

Culbrelai · Mar 22, 2013

I hope to hear experiences from people that do, I've heard that Seagates are less reliable than WD's, but it's just heresay untill someone actually comes back with a dead drive =P

DarrenP · Mar 22, 2013

Those have a very high return rate at the store i buy from, like i mean they had 5 open box specials because people returned them because they didn't like them. From past experience no matter the deal, i would steer away from Seagate, they've been building worse and worse drives since about 2008... just my opinion though

Edit: they're cheap for a reason, newegg is trying to get rid of the stock they have left, and because it's such a good deal, they'll get rid of more and more that they can return to the manufacturer because they DOA the more you return the more they money they can get back from seagate, i'm pretty certain they've realized they're crap so they're taking their losses and getting rid of them... again just my thoughts.

How much were there when this was posted? They are $189.99 now and I doubt people were posting about that price
