Requires more platters/technology
Elijah Stewart
The number of platters and heads increases.
Usually have more stuff to help the failure rate that increases exponentially every platter added.
Justin Thompson
They don't, though. 6TB is the best price/TB.
Aiden Butler
We're talking about gigabyte user... who could even imagine a 100gb drive let alone 1tb lmfao
Hudson Phillips
Are they helium drives?
Austin Murphy
OP here, sorry I meant tb.
See pic related (australian prices).

6TB has the best price per TB ratio right now tho. It was 4TB like 3 years ago.
Hudson Adams
Look at externals. They're the best price/GB in the US.

The easystore external drives from bestbuy are all white labeled NAS drives
Blake Baker
not him but Seagate is based
Jacob Collins
He's refering to 'shucking', pulling the internal drive out of the external enclosure to save a few bucks per-hdd.
Alexander Smith
Pic related i made back in march 2018, all price is AUD from a popular perth retailer. As you can see, there isnt really a hike between 4 to 6TB back then, and by now im sure 6TB is the sweet-spot across the range.

The main issue with this is damaging the enclosure (why else would they make it a bitch to open with snap off plastic shit?) so they can void your warranty.
Ayden Ross
Why would an external be cheaper? Also I need NAS Drives.
