Paulies, just so you know you'll have zero warranty on the drive outside the enclosure. I purchased 3Tb drive from Digitalet at Amazon and both drives, which should have had 2 year warranties, had faulty warranties.

Both ST3000DM01 are reporting DEAD in the NAS in under two years. All my other Seagate models are still golden.
