125, 135, 140$ BO directly denied

I tried $110

My experience with this seller is that he doesn't really budge much on the asking price for the HGST drives. I'm sure he knows his prices are already very low anyway.

These were originally listed at 199 and no one bought so maybe just wait?

Maybe just not a popular size, knowing there's an 800GB version out there?

 

[Flintstone]

Or that for most people the 400GB S3710 makes more sense... I know atleast that I can turn around and sell my intel ssd´s to anyone with a laptop when no longer needed - but these.... nope... not easy to move...

Its on the small size but maybe in a expander chassis this is good.

"THESE DRIVES HAVE EMC FIRMWARE THAT IS LOCKED AND CANNOT BE FLASHED, USE IN NON-EMC HARDWARE IS UNSUPPORTED"

So we cannot use it in HP, Dell, Intel hardware, right?

 

[ColPanic]

You can. Just can't flash the firmware.

Last # = 1 = TCG encryption

Not sure if that matters / is why... they're still there ??

I think the EMC firmware scares people off.
