I hate how small hdds are, 3TB? I really dont want to have more than one storage drive, running two atm and its annoying and I dont want to run a JBOD...

wtb 10tb hdd.

Little bit of sarcasm behind what I said, I'll be selling the two 3 TB's when they turn up as I have picked up a couple of 2 TB drives for 80 bucks a pop.

Far out. Went to North Rocks today and saw 500GB HDDS for $90-$100.

Good time to sell HDD's.

I just checked Ebay and even 2nd hand 500's are going for a decent price. Hmmm, might have to put some HDD's up on Ebay.

Damn. I've been to-ing aand fro-ing on four of the Hitachi externals and got approval from the wife. I was going to order them last night from eStore but decided to wait till this morning.

Now they've gone from $149 to $220.

Balls.

Oh well, there's still the Scorptec $179 deal I guess.

Ok, was it all hdd's, or just 3.5" affected?

I ask this because the 2.5" stayed the same while the 3.5 went through the roof, but now the 2.5" have shot up. So just scumbag rip offs or not?

Rip offs

On a side note, Hit up your local Retra Vision ;D
In cooma, the local Retra Vision has 2tb External HDDs for 130$ Not exactly the best brand (Buffalo) but its better then nothing.

No idea what brand HDD is in it, but tbh, i couldnt care less, As long as i can fill it to store stuff for a few months, thats more then enough.

Raging! Went to order a 2/ or 3TB and all the prices are though the roof!

Is there anywhere left to get a decent price on them?
