That's why you buy a 6TB external HDD, to back up your data onto so that you hopefully don't lose it if your non-external drives fail.
It's even called a backup drive. "Seagate Backup Plus"

Where'd you get that graph? Interesting!

It's from a site called Camelcamelcamel. You can also get add-ons / extensions for your browser for camelcamelcamel. It's a great site to know if your getting a good price. You can also setup price alerts on it. So if you aren't in a rush to buy something you can set up an alert, and when the price goes below your asking price... you get an email. Highly recommend it.

I'm very tempted. I'm looking to upgrade my machine at the end of the year so fingers crossed the price may drop a little more by then.
As for the "it's a lot of data to loose"... yep I agree but I'd be using it for my steam and origin libraries and maybe as a secondary backup. At least that way, if it does go tits up, nothing is really lost.

First time post, long time lurker - found the same (I think) 6tb disk at Argos, for the same price too. For those that want the disk 'right now'.
had one and honestly there bloody awful. Failed within a month. Pay abit more and get a WD. Had 3 of them now and still going strong.

I've been running 8 3 & 4TB seagates in two N40L's for over two years with no issues whatsoever. The last disk failure I had was a WD, about 4 years ago.

I have had two Western Digital drives fail on me. Bloody awful. So where does that leave us now, want to go back to pen and paper?

decent price considering the WD refurbs were this price. hopefully this is a sign of prices falling
