Black64 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Honest first impression - I didn't even know they made a 6TB drive, but for the cost of it I can buy 4-5x 4TB drives. Edited July 14, 2014 by Black64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it goes consumer level the price drops but enterprise class stuff always comes with a price premium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I don't even get why Seagate would have us review enterprise hardware. Lucky Amanda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Honest first impression - I didn't even know they made a 6TB drive, but for the cost of it I can buy 4-5x 4TB drives. Once it goes consumer level the price drops but enterprise class stuff always comes with a price premium. This is an odd ball enterprise drive though - most are SAS not SATA. It'd go perfectly in a nice NAS...assuming you could afford 4 or 5 of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 6TB man I remember fighting over 4 and 10GB Drives lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 So expensive... but it's getting harder to fill up 4TB's as it is (my server has 8 1TB HDD's in RAID 10). I couldn't imagine having 8 6TB HDD's in RAID 10 for 24TB's space. I'd have to copy all my HD porn 6 times over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 It is a big drive! The enterprise quality makes it a bonus too -- but I would agree there are cheaper ways to do storage. It will make quite the nice backup to our server in case we ever have to book it outta here when Waco sets the house on fire! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
