Agreed.... A single 4TB drive! that is a lot of data to loose if something does fail. I myself like 1tb for movies, 1tb for photo's, 1tb for music etc all external portable drives. easy to take and share with friends 🙂 when we I eventually get some that is.

Price?

4TB drive? How about big a5s single point of failure?

How about you back it up with an identical 4TB drive. Idiot

External drives ... retard.

ffs 😀 go on then, why?

Price drops low enough and I'll buy 10 of them to replace the 2TB drives I currently have in my array.

lol i just checked how many hdds i own, 8 exactly, 2x are 4TB WD Black drives inside my PC (non-raid) that i use everyday. 6x are 2TB WD Green filled with all my videos/music/games/pr0n/roms etc (stuff i bought and or collected over the centuries) and the drives are stored somewhere safe, sure it's a lot of money but well worth it, they are nicely categorized and everything. i used to do the same many years ago in the 90s but on AMPEX Magnetic Tapes 20GB, always hated taking chances with my data, these were very reliable and money was no object so it was well worth it. 😀 unfortunately i stopped buying Seagate a few years ago, i purchased 4 seagate drives and all died within 1-2 month , clicking and bad sectors, tried low-level-format but no dice, returned and got the WD Green and all has been well since, maybe i was unlucky dunno. i still got 2x 40GB seagate drives (purchased around 2002), dropped them a few times and tortured them extensively over the years, they're still working, no errors, no clicks, no nothing, i was almost a Fanboy of Seagate back then, monster reliability. good times. 😀 http://i49.tinypic.com/i4hd10.jpg

Where are these? Can't find them anywhere

That's because they haven't been released yet.

its obvious you did not know they are not released.:3eyes:

I once owned an external esata 4gb drive. it was actually 2x 2tb drives combined in raid. http://www.amazon.com/WD-My-Book-Studio-II/dp/B002BH3ZCU/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1362053814&sr=1-6&keywords=4tb+external+hard+drive and goes up to 6tb....... just too bad my new years resolution was not to spend money on hardware.

It's rather obvious that if you want to use large drives for storage, you need some kind of redundancy. Anything else would be silly.
