i doubt that these will ship for 170 from beach audio or amazon at the 170 price. i hope anyone ordering them for 300 does get them shipped though. They are that price at NewEgg (wouldnt trust them at all with hard drives) or directly from Western Digital (probably your best bet)

i wish i was able to finish my order for 8 of them @ 170..... but the bathroom got in my way and then it sold out at that price. I hope they ship for you, but I have a feeling they will be cancelled.
I wish these were SAS drives... ive been trying to get rid of my sata to sas transposers.

this is also a good deal. these will contain WD red drives that are with a white label. the Gold drives I posted in the OP are much higher quality since they are enterprise drives.WD Elements

Definitely let us know if they ship at $170 as that will be the deal of the century.
I know where to get one exos 16TB sas at a good price if you want to PM me.
I'd say the extra warranty and reliability of the Gold beats this hands down, but apparently these do run cooler by some accounts so may be better for certain situations.
Just happy to see drive prices like this for everyone.
My order shipped Looks like pricing was corrected on Amazon now.

oh im so pissed i didnt check out in time! I had them in my cart too.... my delays of waiting to see how many over 8 i wanted to explain to the wife why i needed cost me the deal.My order shipped
Does anyone know if drives bigger than 10tb will work with a 9285-8e LSI Raid card? LSI SAS2208-based controller
Sucks but that's how married goes sometimes...as far as drive sizes, I'm not aware of any limits once you're past 2TB/4TB. I recently put an 18TB drive in an old Netgear readynas that was only certified with drives up to something like 2 or 4TB and it worked fine. I've actually got a 12TB in there now, lol. Can't wait until the 50TB drives hit and I can put 1/3 of a PB in this small 6-bay nas.
When it comes to great deals on Amazon, my rule of thumb is to buy first, then do my research and ask questions later. It's so easy to cancel an order before it has shipped. And even then, you can simply return unopened.
