Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB

When we have some to test for the Hardware Compatibility List, we'll let you know. If some users get ahold of it before then, they can try it out. The NAS will be able to handle up to 16TB disks as the maximum volume size is 64TB currently.

woohoo!! awesome...

Are those drives already available? :shock:

i dont think so

Official price is 206 euros, not bad.

206 euros? link to the dealer please.. and thats almost 200% of the price of a samsung 1 tb drives (110 euros). :)

I found on germans google http://www.hardwareschotte.de/hardware/ ... uda+720011

available in 1 month (estimated). so nowhere to buy that yet :)

But price is already known.

For those of you who have been waiting patiently (or maybe impatiently) for news on these drives, I had my first real indication that these drives are about to ship to customers imminently.

Their inventory is updated and shows that they are about to receive their shipment (today, 8/28), so I imagine people will start to get their drives shortly.

I ended up not going with these guys (BLT) simply because of that little red text near the top left of their page (No Returns or Exchanges), though they did have the best price I could find with shipping and no tax. In the end I got mine from Amazon.com (they were only about $8 more than the above link for http://www.shopblt.com)
