Looking for HDD Deal - 3-6TB

[Quasduco]

Hey all.

Done with the mess that is Seagate dying on me - 3 in 3 months...

Got the green light to get better drives.

Looking for Hitachi or WD drives, 3-6TB in capacity. If going 3TB, need at least 3, if doing 4TB up, likely just 2 depending on price.

Been googling, not seeing any thrilling deals, so hoping someone else has seen better.

Thanks all.

P.S. Will consider refurbs, but will likely want to get at least 1 extra to account for no/limited warranty.

What do you consider a thrilling deal?

Only thing I found was in store only Frys for a HGST drive, but no Frys in TN...

By "thrilling deal" I mean not just retail pricing.

I've bought a ton of these. Goharddrive has the best support in the business.

WL 3TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA III (6.0Gb/s) 3.5" Internal Desktop Hard Drive (For PC/Mac/DVR) w/1 Year Warranty - Newegg.com

And the price is good.

On second thought, the ones I've been buying are 7200 rpm which would be a different model. This one is a better choice, 7200rpm enterprise drive.

Hitachi Ultrastar 7K3000 HUA723030ALA640 (0F15328) 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA III (6.0Gb/s) 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (Enterprise Grade) - Newegg.com

Decent price for a refurb I guess but honestly it shouldn't be possible to wipe SMART data. I'd want to know the POH.
