Rick Sanchez Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi, I need to upgrade my hard drives this week. Would you go for WD or HSGT 4TB or? I will be ordering by Wednesday. Does anyone know of any good deals? Quote Link to comment
c3 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 For the same size and price, I would go HSGT. Quote Link to comment

garycase Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 ... obviously the source I listed in that post isn't useful in the UK. But as I noted, either the WD Reds or the HGST Coolspins are good choices. The HGST NAS units are fine as well, but they run at 7200rpm so will run a bit warmer than their Coolspin cousins.

SSD Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'd suggest the HGST 4T (any model) or the Seagate 4T (ST4000DM000). Nothing against the REDS, except the 3T got beat up in the recent BackBlaze study. People here tend to report good luck with the REDS. The Seagate seem to be considerably better priced on Amazon UK.

Rick Sanchez Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I bought two 4TB for £238 so I have enough room for now. I'll buy some more when the price drops Quote Link to comment
