Toshiba 6TB X300 Retail $180 Newegg

Very nice price, but buyer beware of the 2 year warranty - they obviously don't have confidence in these drives lasting long.
 
10 bucks cheaper than last time. That's a great deal and those drives are beasts. ~225MBps @ 11ms
 
By all means, grab it from Newegg, where they'll throw it in an 18' x 18" x 10" box with a single 6" piece of bubble-wrap.

Let us know how that goes.

Horsehockey, unless you managed to get a poorly filled box. The last 50+ boxes full of hard drives we got in from them (each had ~4-6 drives), each drive was of course packed in their own cardboard box with those bubble wrap cocoons inside and the rest of the box was full of airbags. Optical drives were same but not in cardboard boxes.

8TB Red on ebay new for $250 + $9 shipping
WD Red 8TB SATA 6Gbps 128MB Buffer NASware 3.0 HDD for NAS (WD80EFZX)

$32.40 per TB

Not too much more per TB than this deal. Anybody know if WD cares where you buy the drive from for warranty?

5 bucks cheaper. They went for 185 last time.

these are retail so boxing really doesn't matter a whole lot. I never buy OEM/bare drive from newegg....just look at reviews. Retail newegg is good to go.

They were 190 the other week using a coupon when I saw them, but is that really something to argue about whether it was a $5 or $10 difference depending on which sale. Good god.

i was just stating that because last i bought them on shell shocker it was 185...not being a dick just clarifying :/

I only remember this because i saw my last price for them as i was looking at my orders.

I spy someone who hasn't ordered a hard drive from Newegg in a decade.

Sounds like your Horse has an Intestinal problem, which is no fun for anyone involved in that.

I've received some poorly packed stuff from Newegg. Not as bad a s Sears, but the worse of any Computer company I've ever dealt with. Happens every once in a while, not all the time.

2, maybe 3 years ago. OEM drive, huge box, tissue-paper piece of bubble-pack. Dead drive. Last time I order HDD from NE.

Used to be tons of complaints. And let's not forget the bent CPU socket pins fiasco.

You all are suggesting they got their shit together. Well, good for them, but I've got a Microcenter a few minutes away now, so NE can blow me.

It's the same old boohoo stories similar to the "old" OCZ vs. "new" OCZ SSD crap. People got burned back in the day, things change pretty much in a massive way for the better, people still B&M over it. Yeah, it's their rite to do so.

That's been my experience as well. They're much better than they were a while back when they were consistently horrible with hard drives, but every so often I get a package that obviously was packed by someone that had no clue how to pack drives. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that when it happens, sending it back for replacement can take some time, whereas Amazon has historically just went ahead and advance shipped me a replacement next day. Still, not a very common occurrence overall.

found your issue....this is why i don't buy OEM drives from anyone anymore. It is always worth paying a few extra bucks for full retail no matter if it is NE/ Amazon/ Rakuten/ or any other place

and this is retail drive so derp derp derp your point is 100% moot.

Must not spend much time looking for drives. For quite a number of HDD's at NE, the choice was OEM or none at all for many models.

So polish up that clown nose and yer makeup and derp yourself to oblivion.
