You'll need to find a $0.01 filler though to tide you over $100

I missed the previous deal myself on the 3 pack for $300, so I thought others might be interested. The other colors also seem to have same price of $99 so in case black runs out or you would prefer a colored case.

[Bonus]Says if registered with Seagate online gets 1 year free 200gb onedrive. Must be claimed by June 2017 and sadly only one per account.

Thanks everyone!

This is even a good deal in Norway (including overseas shipping and 25% tax, it is still about $60 cheaper than local price). But i assume high DOA rated and returns could be costly. Actually better to buy used gear :)

Who wants to bet it's an even better deal tomorrow. Seems a natural leader for 'prime day'.

Good point. May be buying more tomorrow. 4x in a 5.25" 4-in-1 makes nice ceph cluster nodes!

Great for a backup pool!

I might have to pick up a spare or two if there is a deal tomorrow. I picked up a 5.25 4-in-1 Monoprice for a good price and may make a itx machine to put at my inlaws house to have a bigger off site backup.

I'll wait until tomorrow as well, hopefully they won't sell out or jump in price then, but I don't have the rest of my build ready yet so I can wait for it to hit 99 again.

Pity it's not a WD.
The 4tb WD my book is going for $125 on Amazon.
Do you think Seagate at $100 is better than a WD at $125? (I guess for back ups endurance is not a big factor)
Re Norco bracket: Do you think their may be some overheat issues with 4 x 2.5 HDDs in a 5.25" slot?

PS. Amazon has 2 tb WD mybook at $99 and 3 tb mybook at $99.33

What's on tomorrow that may make goods cheaper?

Prime Day is tomorrow.

These are 2.5" vs the Mybook's that are 3,5. Most good hotswap bays have fans or are in a case that draws air through.

Would 12 x 2.5" HDDs in 3 x 5.25" slots be too hot?

Very tempting 48 Tb in 3 x 5.25" bays! Nice backup or multiple VM copies.

ERROR The item(s) in your shopping cart does not qualify for the discount with the promo code 0712TECHFAN19 you've entered. Please check again or contact customer service.
