    6TB drive really isn’t a fair example, as hard drive sizes increase smaller drives aren’t produced as much if at all. That has an effect of raising the price of the remaining small drives as your customer base becomes people who need that drive like if you have a drive go bad in a raid array and want a matching drive.

    So while yes a 6TB 7200 RPM drive is $130, a 12TB 7200RPM drive is also $130.

      That Seagate drive you linked to is used. Might as well throw your data away, LOL!

        I didn’t notice that, that’s a very valid point. Still 6tb drives aren’t the sweet spot price wise, but my example was bad.
