In short, there is no proof that it does.

You are basing the failure rate off of Newegg reviews which are by nature, flawed. Voluntary response bias leads people to only comment if they have a problem with a drive. People are far likely to review a drive negatively than positively.

The level of voluntary response bias varies from drive to drive and from site to site. For instance if you look at this drive on Amazon it has perfectly fine reviews.

u/konstantinov_prime · 8 pointsr/buildapcsales

Was about to purchase, but checked amazon first. On TD price with shipping to me is $106. Same drive is available for $107.20 with prime shipping on amazon.

u/Ryvaeus · 7 pointsr/Philippines

Nope, no more fees. I'll do a test run right now for you. You already know that the Chromecast delivery cost me $2.90 from MSB. I'll use another order from my history to illustrate the difference in cost.

I bought myself a refurbished Seagate Desktop 3 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 7200 RPM 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST3000DM001 on sale for $69.99.

------

Amazon delivery to MSB warehouse: $5.99 (~Php 270.03)

  • MSB delivery fee VIA AIR: $16.49 (~Php 740.40)
    (If I had opted for the sea freight, it would have only cost $5.80)

    -----

    Amazon delivery direct to Philippines: $35.36 (~Php 1,687.48)
  • Import Fees Deposit: $50.16 (~Php 2,252.18)

    -----

    I have a subscription to MSB through Globe GCASH which costs me Php 250 per year. So, even adding all of those individual costs: 270.03 + 740.40 + 250.00 = 1,260.43 @ MSB^( [or 780.91 if I opted for sea freight]) < 3,939.66 @ Amazon = 1,687.48 + 2,252.18

    Consider the fact that I do more than one MSB shipment a year and the yearly subscription fee seems less and less of an issue.

    Edit: Added details about Import Fees Deposit from Amazon.
u/Kichigai · 6 pointsr/TwinCities

Probably because their decision about where to do shopping based on taxes isn't one that most people like to admit they do themselves. Likely more to do with the way it was phrased than the actual sentiment; hell, I was tempted to downvote it as a knee-jerk reaction to any complaints about taxes, but I do it too. I'd rather buy from a shop closer to home than pay the 10% sales tax in Downtown Minneapolis, unless I want/need it now, or I can't find it elsewhere, but in that case I'm not going to complain about it either because that's simply the price of doing business.

Of course, I doubt this will be much of a boon to local/small businesses, since Amazon is really killing retailers in terms of price and availability.

For example: trying finding a Panasonic Lumix G6 anywhere in the area. Or Sennheiser headphones. Or hard disks: Best Buy wants $118, Amazon wants $102. Micro Center has them too, but they want $110, and they're way the hell out on the other side of the metro area from me.

I don't think this is going to hurt Amazon or help local businesses as much as people think it will.

Buy moar drives!

Seriously, that's it, this problem isn't going to go away. Personally for low budget storage I recommend getting one of these (if your Mac is USB3 enabled):

http://amzn.com/B0051U1XMS

And a couple of these (3TB is currently the price/capacity sweet spot):

http://amzn.com/B005T3GRLY

And store them in some of these when you're not working with them:

http://amzn.com/B00CYW12TK

I have a closet literally full of drives at my office. I mean hundreds of them. And that's not even counting the online storage. You don't want to know how much my studio has spent on hard drives over the past decade.

Edit: Protip, if you're going to work with a bare drive storage system, always backup your working drive.

Like, buy two 3TB drives, call them "mydrive_A" and "mydrive_B", plug them both into that dock, and then just make the B drive a mirror of the A drive. I am a huge fan of this storage method but you've got basically no protection for those drives -- do not find yourself in a situation where your footage is only on one of them.

These are cheaper, and faster, and you won't have to shuck them. I have a RAID5 with 8 of them and it's been running great.

u/chak2005 · 4 pointsr/xboxone

Honestly you can build your own, this way you can get a warranty on a good performance drive and if it fails, just swap it out. Though here are the two options I would recommend:

Option 1 build your own: Buy a 2-4TB WD black gaming HDD (5 year warranty) or a 7200rpm 2-3TB Seagate Barracuda it is much cheaper but has less warranty offerings. I say up to 3TB with the Seagate as its 4TB model is not 7200rpm. Finally buy a USB 3.0 cooling enclosure, I use this one. Though you can find numerous ones all over the internet. With that enclosure you need no tools except a screw driver to open the case, then its simply insert/snap and close, total install time is 1 minute. This is the route I would take for performance and warranty offerings.

Option 2 retail versions: If performance is not an issue then really any drive will do just make sure its over 300GB and USB 3.0. A good cheap retail one is Seagate

17gb currently costs less than $1. 30gb currently costs $1. The economies of disk storage is fine in the present. I don't see the cost of storing the blockchain on a standard hdd getting out of control even if the blockchain increases liberally.

I love this build. I would swap the SSD for a 3TB barracuda.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005T3GRLY
256gig will fill quickly. Or get both! I own a 2500k and it kicks butt on my i7 950. With mobos research the chipset and get the latest. Right now you want a socket 1155 with a Z77 chipset and a 1155 CPU to match. Here is an example of just such a mobo.

u/EPluribusUnumIdiota · 2 pointsr/gaming

I know it's not gaming, but HERE'S a 250 MB hard drive from 1979, and HERE'S a 3 TB hard drive from today, for the princely sum of $89.30.

It would take 12.5 thousand of the earlier drives to equal capacity of the newer drive.

Then again, sizing hasn't changed all that much.

u/SilentBobVG · 2 pointsr/buildapc

To address your main concerns;

  1. The PSU you have is nearly a decade old, however it seems like at the time of release it was a fairly good unit. TweakTown gave it a 9 out of 10. If you're worried about it because of its age, you could upgrade if you needed.

  2. 2/3TB HDD's aren't that expensive, and would probably help free up a lot of space for you. Probably worth looking at; something like this or this

  3. Your monitors are definitely quite outdated, very old and with a pretty low resolution. You could replace them both with 1080p monitors, maybe these or replace both with a single 1440p monitor if you don't mind spending a little extra for far more real estate like this one

  4. Your RAM is perfectly fine, you can always add in another 1x8gb of the same stick if you feel like 8gb is holding you back.

    Everything else looks perfectly fine
u/3oo54 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Also if you are going to be spending $220 on an HDD get this. It's a good Build though.

I didn't include an OS. I imagine your school might offer something for discount or even free.

This build has some room for upgrade:

I left a RAM slot open so you can cheaply upgrade it to 16GB at a later point. Make sure to get the same RAM when you upgrade to ensure dual-channel compatibility.

This build also doesn't have a hard disk, only a solid-state drive. This may be sufficient for you. If you ever need more space, the Seagate Barracuda 3TB ST3000DM001 ($122) gives you the most storage for the price. If you need something cheaper, the Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB ($63) is a pretty good deal.

I think this is a pretty good build. It's what I plan on getting myself in a month or so. It has the latest, most powerful Intel Core i5 processor that is the standard on /r/buildapc. It has the GTX 760 graphics card, which is nearly as powerful as the GTX 670 from the previous generation, only it's $100 cheaper. It has built-in Wifi and Bluetooth. It has a fully-modular, 140mm PSU which should fit really well in this case. The BitFenix Prodigy case is a gorgeous case and is available in many colors. I think the Samsung 840 SSD is supposed to be pretty good, and it has great reviews on NewEgg. This build should also be pretty compatible for use as a Hackintosh once Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks is released in a month or two in case you ever want to mess with that.
u/Providendum · 2 pointsr/gaming

Buy 20 3TB hard drives. Plan on spending $3000.

u/hopelessly_positive · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

Appears to be an older model (ST3000DM001) and there is a newer model (ST3000DM008) with better Amazon reviews. But it's still a good deal on a 3TB 7200RPM HDD.

Edit: It may serve best as a secondary drive though, as /u/LasVegasWasFun pointed out that the Newegg reviews don't inspire confidence.

u/tamarockstar · 2 pointsr/buildapc

1 TB Western Digital $58

1 TB Seagate $53

2 TB Seagate $83.50

3 TB Seagate $102.80

Any of those would be good choices. Like others mentioned, WD Blues only go up to 1 TB. WD blacks are pretty much over priced, so Seagate is the better choice above 1 TB. The Seagate 1TB drive actually performs a little better than the WD 1 TB. As for WD being more reliable than Seagate, I don't really know if that's true or not.

Things to consider: Cache size, RPM and platter density. Seems like 64MB cache, 7200 RPM and 1 TB platter size is the best bang for the buck right now. All those drives above share those specs.

u/Chris238 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Your build looks great but that 3TB Hard Drive is very expensive for what is is, and you can get one for almost half the price. Also, with the release of the 1080 or even the 1070, it would be extremely wise to try and get your hands on one of those, considering the performance jump.

u/vanberge · 2 pointsr/homelab

Alright, I settled on and ordered the following NAS config.

  • Synology DS209 (2 bays) off ebay - 120 bucks.
  • 2x Seagate 3TB 7200rpm Drives

    Should give me 5.5 usable TB for about 350 bucks. Since it's all for lab/testing I'm not worried about mirroring the drives.

    Edit a DS209, not 109

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
u/thesupergeek42 · 2 pointsr/hardwareswap

$130 CAD is like $90 USD. You can get a new 3TB Seagate drive for $90 USD or a brand new WD Green 3TB for $10 USD more.

So I was saying your price is not very good any you might want to consider adjusting it.

u/N3KIO · 2 pointsr/letsplay

Doesn't matter what you use, After Effects or Premiere, they both will have the same render time in media encoder.

If you want to speed up the process, you need 2 Drivers, 1 for footage, and 1 for rendering, and they need to be fast drives, SSD's, SSHD or 7200+ RPM with 64MB+ CACHE Drives.

u/Amestrius · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Case: Rosewill, NZXT, and CoolerMaster are good places to start. Its mostly an aesthetic choice.

CPU: Intel i5 or i7. If you're budget is tight go i3.

GPU: This is the most important!! If your budget is tight I'd go with AMD R7 265X, R9 270, or Nvidia GTX 750 Ti. If not my pick would be the AMD R9 290 non-reference. It's cheaper than most yet is very powerful.

Motherboard- I use a Asrock Fatal1ty Killer. Most common brands are Asrock, MSI, Asus, and Gigabyte.

RAM- I use Kingston HyperX. Other good brands include Corsair, Crucial, G-Skill. Be sure to get 8GB or more RAM memory.

Power Supply Unit- The two highest reviewed brands are Seasonic and XFX (I use 1050watt XFX). Other good brands include Corsair, EVGA, CoolerMaster. You will want probably at least 700W PSU but I would recommend a !000W. It will give you headroom for any components you want to add.

Wifi- If you want/need this: TP-Link WDN-4800

SSD- This is for your operating system, doesn't help much with games. Samsung 840 Evo, Kingston HyperX, and AMD R7 (just released, only read reviews) are all good and affordable brands. You shouldn't need more than 120GB. If you have a M.2 socket on the Motherboard you choose, go with an M.2 SSD such as the Crucial M500, or if you can find it at an affordable price, the Samsung XP941.

HDD- Seagate Barracuda 3TB is a cheap, yet reliable choice.

Optical Drive- I've only used mine once, but you can find a DVD-RW on Amazon for like $12. (Internal not external)

Miscellaneous:

Keyboard: RAZR, Logitech are good brands

Mouse: too many to count, just browse "gaming mouse" on Amazon or Newegg.

Monitor: I prefer Asus. Go with an IPS monitor. They are gorgeous. !440p if you have the money, if not, 1080p.

Headphones- AudioTechnica or Sennheiser

non-reference are graphic cards with after-market coolers on them. I like XFX and Gigabyte.

u/FuttBuckTroll · 2 pointsr/amazon

It'd be even more useful if you had an option to filter to only the reviews about the specific version of the product you're interested in. For instance, the infamous Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001 HDD had a dismally high rate of failure. While the other size options (1TB, 2TB, etc.) weren't phenomenal either, they were at least not nearly as bad as the 3TB version. But the product page lumps them all together. The overall rating is an average of all the ratings for all size options. While looking at the reviews can lead you to discovering that the 3TB version received the most flak, it'd be much better if Amazon clearly separated out the reviews for each version if they recognized that a subset of the versions received a disproportionate amount of negative reviews.

If you're looking at this sale at it's price/memory value, the same make of drive in 3TB is better even without a sale: Amazon: Seagate Barracude 3TB: $89.99

Still a good sale regardless, if you just want 1 TB

u/justice-jake · 1 pointr/buildapc

At least get a 3TB spinning disk if you're going non-SSD. I built a HP Microserver full of those drives and they're working great.

I have a similar hybrid drive in my 2007 Macbook Pro, and I can't suggest it as an SSD replacement. It has really unreliable performance charateristics, and you can't RAID it for redundancies.

You're much better off getting one or more larger spinning disks then adding an SSD cache using Intel's SSD cache technology with a real SSD down the road.

u/wee0x1b · 1 pointr/starcitizen

Why would the game size concern you? Do you have a very small hard drive made ten years ago? If so, buy a larger one for almost no money whatsoever. You've got about 520 days until release. If you save 25 cents a day, you'll be able to buy this 3TB disk drive before the game is actually released. Then you'll be able to fit 100 copies of that 30GB game on your PC.

If it's a network issue, then set it to download and come back when it's done. Though I imagine they'll have a physical disk option as well, or the game will auto-update like so many new ones do now. Either way, it's a wash when some patience is applied.

Personally, I hope the game is even huger than you are imagining.

But all this worry in here! Life is stressful enough. Be concerned about stuff when it actually happens!

u/manifolded · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Is there a work-around? I subscribed to all the newsletters, it didn't work.

edit, I found one: You can chat with a newegg rep, tell them that your friend used the code and got 10% off the drive or whatever, and refer them to the amazon listing here. Explain to them that you have an amazon prime acount (I actually do), and that the better shipping from amazon for the same price gives you an incentive to buy the drive from a different retailer. Then explain that you would be willing to buy the drive from newegg if he could give you a 10% off coupon or a $15 gift card. In my case, the guy was willing to issue me a card after I ordered the hd for the original $150. As I was already looking to buy stuff from newegg in the near future, this was a perfect move for me.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/hardware

I agree about getting an m-atx case and keeping the drives inside, but he could also take the $150 he was going to spend on an enclosure and use it to get a single 3TB HDD to replace the 3 he's using.

This was a simple cluster, not really designed for running a lot of VMs. We run 3 AD servers, a File Server, and one server for a special piece of software. That's a total of only 5 Windows 2008 R2 VMs, but you can see that it can handle much more.

That is the full setup from the rack down to the software licenses that runs 144GB RAM and 4TB usable drive space on ZFS with a 128GB SSD Read cache. It falls short of $4k. We use XenServer and OpenIndiana.

That's only two VM servers, but every VM the client needs can easily run on one in case of a failure. Just thought I would share this setup to show that it is feasible to price a VM cluster out at under 6k. This is not the cheapest build I've done, but definitely near it and much smaller than I would recommend for most people. It is actually smaller than I recommended for this client, but it is what it is.

I have no CDI available for this Hard Drive since it's still factory sealed in the anti-static bag.

u/gkfasdfasdf · 1 pointr/sysadmin

How do these compare to the Seagate ST3000DM001, which sell for $100 each (so you wouldn't have to buy 4)?

u/ConfessionsAway · 1 pointr/gadgets

I'm looking to get a 3TB in the near future. Just want to find one under $100 that doesn't have 3 stars. I was looking into this one but it seems like it's "under review" right now. Kind of glad I held off on that. I'll probably dish out the extra $10-20 and get the WD.

3tb seagate for $6 more each, double the storage.

I would go with the synology though, they are awesome, powerful devices. Unless you really want to be able to run a bunch of other stuff on the box other then just storage and the synology supported apps.

u/NotSoFinalFantasy · 1 pointr/buildapc

What are your thoughts on Seagate? I found a 3TB bare drive for $100, which is an incredible value in GB per dollar, though I can't speak on behalf of it's reliability or performance. Here's a link if that helps.

u/Rhys_Onasi · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Recently purchased all the parts for the "End-All" with some modifications of my own, to build a PC for the first time.

I got a 500GB SSD to run my OS and my most HD intensive games on, and intended to use my current 1TB HD to be the main media storage/other games. However, even as all the parts are in shipment, I find that I've been hearing weird noises coming from my HDD that just make me paranoid, as it is getting on 5+ years with it. I figure I should probably get a new one and install it when I assemble the new computer this weekend.

My budget is <$100. I want size more than performance, so I don't need another SSD. But then when I look at HD vs Hybrid HD, I am afraid I am not very well read on the tradeoffs.

As an example, compare:
Seagate 1TB SSHD

vs

Seagate 3TB HDD

They are both about the same price, yet one has 50% more space. What performance do I really pull out of a hybrid vs a regular?

u/cheeseynacho42 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Girlsplaywow is a jerk. Ok, not really. You're a very nice person.

I'm into this or this.

u/Specken_zee_Doitch · 1 pointr/cinematography

Storage is cheap. Only limit is the capabilities of the crew.

u/Evidence_Of_Absence · 1 pointr/buildapc

H55 isn't worth the price. If that's your budget, get the hyper 212 evo. Otherwise, shell out for at least the H80 (although high-end air will outperform or tie pretty much all CLCs up until the H100i).

I'm not personally a fan of Toshiba HDDs, and at that size/price I'd be looking for seagate sales (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005T3GRLY/ for instance). This is just opinion though.

u/Romanion · 1 pointr/buildapc

Well there's a 3TB Seagate Barracuda 'blue?' hdd on Amazon for 107usd

u/TheVetNoob · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Check this out. 1 TB is $55, 2 TB is $85, and 3 TB is $107.

u/dabsfordaze · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

Let's think here.. buy a (traditional platter style) HDD from some random person with no safety guaranteed what-so-ever for $130 USD

All the while Amazon.CA (yes that's Canada's Amazon) Is selling it brand new for 127.99 CDN which equals 114 USD.

Someone already politly informed you of your incorrect pricing, and hopefully this will ward off the rest of your potential buyers until a change is made. Nice try though kiddo

(In case you think I'm full of sh**, check the link for yourself, which is what you should have done prior to even considering posting here)

    .

    $ sudo zpool list
    NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
    tank 29T 11.8T 17.2T - 7% 40% 1.00x ONLINE -

    Keep in mind there is a 5.03% discrepancy between the reported size (e.g. sudo zfs list) and the actual size (du -b) based on the computations in this google sheet. For instance, my 800GiB file appears as 760GiB according to this zpool. This is not the case on my raidz1 backup and everything is represented accurately. It's just a matter of the vdev/blocksize/recordsize configuration chosen.

    You'll want to setup your pools using these options:

    sudo zpool create tank -o ashift=12 raidz2 <disks>...

    and your datasets with these options:

    sudo zfs set compression=lz4 tank
    sudo zfs set recordsize=1M tank
    sudo zfs set atime=off tank
    sudo zfs set xattr=sa tank

    So, to answer your question,

    24 10^12 bytes / (1024^4 bytes / TiB) (31/32 zfs overhead) = 21.1457 TiB

    If I do sudo zfs list -p I get

    Used | Available | Total
    ---|---|----
    |9,208,112,973,696 | 12,752,323,246,208 | 21,960,436,219,904 |

    (but this is the 5.3% affected value).

    So to go in reverse, 21,960,436,219,904 1.053 32/31 = 23,861,934,092,934 bytes, which is pretty damn close to the expected 24 * 10^12 advertised.

I've been using this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-SuperSpeed-Lay-Flat-Docking-ASM1053E/dp/B00APP6694

$25 and swappable, no screws or anything else. Just make sure you grab a HDD with 7200 rpm. I got this one for $100

u/PancakeEater101 · 1 pointr/mac

I don't like any of the suggestions here, buy this NAS and 2 of these drives and put them in RAID1 so you are protected against failure (Just make sure to do a backup, RAID is not a backup)

If you don't mind spending a little bit more, these drives are better quality

When you get more money and want to upgrade, you can buy a 4+ bay NAS and reuse those drives and add more or do whatever you want with them

The Zyxel NAS is cheap and good, with no stupid features that are worthless anyway

u/SodTiwaz · 0 pointsr/techsupport

Basically you buy a NAS based on your needs (for me I got a Buffalo with 2 3tb HDD's for under $350 shipped. With that you could build a 6tb storage device or a 3tb with raid 1. I went raid 1 so if one HDD fails I'll likely still have 1 functional HDD as backup. The buffalo also has a USB so you can attach another external hdd to access if you need a bit more space.

You attach the NAS to your modem using a standard cat5 cable to one of the empty ports in the back of the modem (mine had 4 or 5 available). From there you can access the NAS just like it was a hard drive from any computer on the network.

I put a roku in the bedroom (optional only needed if you're on a TV instead of a computer) and installed the Plex app and can now view any movie/music/show on the NAS in the bedroom using the roku's remote. In hindsight I probably should have gone with a raspberry pi but a roku is great for less savvy people.

Sorry if any of this info is less techy than you're looking for and feel free to ask questions I'll answer them if I can.

u/sonavlaa · 0 pointsr/sysadmin

I'm using these in my Synology 214. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T3GRLY/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They work fine, but you probably want to get a NAS quality drive since mine is normally for backup and does not have very high usage. Synology has really good documentation on their site and even recommended drives they tested working.
