Why oh why are they still so blooming pricey?
A quick check at today's prices (using Scan, who's prices I am not finding particular fault with) shows that their cheapest 2TB drive, a Samsung F4EG is under £65.
The cheapest internal 3TB drive is a Hitachi at £165. (Interestingly there is also a 3TB ext. WD for £160, but i'm not clear if this is 2 x 1.5, or what the deal is).
So 50% extra capacity for 150% extra cost... come on!!
I understand that a certain premium is placed on top end of any given range but stilll
My Synology NAS is now nearly full, having used my 4 x 2TB drives (only giving 5.5TB after formatting and RAID), and would love to upgrade, however it's simply not worth the cost.
Grrrr.
