If only the 8tb prices could fall. They are retailing for over R4k!

What? The 2TB 850 Pro is $1000. Please tell me where I can get an 8TB for R4k.

Think he's referring to a mechanical disk.

Imagines adding 12 of these into an HP Microserver.

Might be too thick for IcyDock though

 

[Chris.Geerdts]

I'm thinking $4000

Dont give up hope for better prices, it will come. My first "big" drive was a 1GB seagate and I paid R999 for it and that was on special ! At that stage my then 386 had a 50Mb drive in it lol

Enterprise class drive.. guys are not buying 1 or 2 of them... they'll be buying 20 or 30 for a storage server if they don't already have a decent flash based San in place.
