Have been looking for a 4TB hard drive for my PC for under £100 and found this. Quidco says it may be eligible for 2% cash back but not confirmed that yet. Hope it helps.

every bt shop order I have placed has always been cancelled.
Normally I would prefer to buy from Amazon but have not been happy with the way Amazon have been packaging their HDDs. Got a 1TB the other day and it did not come in the WD packaging. It came in an anti static bag and was inside a card board box with no other packaging.

I bought a Cooler Master Nepton 120XL CPU cooler last week - they didn't wrap or box it. Just a label stuck on the box :thumbsup:

4TB drives don't know what they are yet they've not arrived but I don't need reds for sticking in a PC anyway depends if you must have rede and don't mind paying the £30 odd more then go for it, if it's just 4tb you need then it's worth considering saving a few £'s especially if buying multiples.

One may be better off spending a few extra quid and getting a Toshiba X300 instead.

I've had so much failed Seagate & Maxtor Drives in the past and swore I would never return but that was years ago are they anymore reliable now?
Seagate are nowadays the least reliable drives. In a datacenter, you just replace the faulty ones, it's not a problem, if it's your only drive or one of the few and you don't have an easy backup/restore routine, paying £10 extra for the extra relaibility of hitachi / wd makes sense.
The ST4000DM series has 3.27% failure rate per year. You can see that WD has 0% (but too small a sample) and HGST has 0.16-1.41% depending on the model.

Not sure this data is reliable because the HDDs being tested are in data centers so have much higher read/write commands carried out on them on a daily basis compared to one in a PC. Therefore, it remains to be seen if the same is true when the HDD is used in a PC.
