I have a 500gb RAID1 I wouldn't mind upgrading, if I can get 3tb new for sub $50 price!

Sold by 'Worldwide Product Importer'...might as well be 'Worldwide Product Importer of Fake Shady Stuff'. I highly doubt these would be the genuine product.

Fulfilled by Amazon...

It's not so much their name, or even the price for that matter--it's just the fact there's so much unchecked shady stuff on amazon when it comes to it equipment.
There's a chance it's legit, but then the same chance here at 1/4 the price:

Fulfilled by Amazon doesn't really mean much, besides for Prime shipping speed. Plenty of counterfeit products are sent straight from Amazon warehouses.

Yep, this used to be the way to keep out the fakes but now that the inventory is co-mingled it's a jungle in the Amazon.

From what I've read its gone as far to affect returns to the distributors/manufacturers that dont check the items and are ending up in retail stores even (especially SD cards/flash drives)Yep, this used to be the way to keep out the fakes but now that the inventory is co-mingled it's a jungle in the Amazon.
Wow, that's horrible.
It's gotten to a point that fake crap and illegal imports are severely cramping our style. We need to bring back the old laws that kept all this from happening before as it's waaaay out of control now.
