Did you use the code to knock 25% off?
almost certainly going to be 3.5" drive inside; whether it's got a SATA interface, and whether the caddy can be dismantled, I have no idea.
It's a regular sata drive, there are tutorials on youtube on how to dismantle
I think you got ripped off...
Why? It's by far the best capacity per £
The code shows as being capped at £30 max discount, yeah.
Anyone else getting an error when trying to check out? I just phoned up and got someone read a script telling me they're having a problem where they can't view account details, so can't offer any support.
Yeah I can see they are doing it now, I guess there has been a limit all along?
I think the price quoted in this post includes the cashback from tcb which some people frown on as "cashback isn't guaranteed" so most people write the price sans cashback.
I didn't get an error when trying to check out and did it a few hrs ago, I got the 5TB (about £82 with tcb) as its basically £40 extra for 1TB more with the 6TB. What does the error say?
5 gigs for £92.50?
I did, although the invoice doesn't match the PayPal charge. Actual charge is for the lower amount (hurray!) and invoice is for the £162. Weird, but relieved that I didn't lose the £40
I ordered on Wednesday but still showing as just "order received"
Ohhhhhhhhh took me a while! Forgot its not 1995
Got mine today, now testing it but seems OK at the moment, gets up to 50c in the enclosure so got a fan on it!
I only received £8.80 tcb, it I think tracked me as an existing user even though I used a new groupon account, but I have had tcb from groupon before so that's maybe it.
hey man,
received mine today but its maxtor d3 statiom did you receive samsung or maxtor ?
From what I've read, Maxtor drives have 32MB cache and 5400 spin speeds, whilst Samsung branded ones spin at 7200
£8.18 tbc still pending though.
thanks man, i have checked the specs of maxtor d3 station crystal disk info it runs at 5980 rpm and 16mb cache.
i have contacted groupon through normal email will see what they say, ifi dont get a reply will go through paypal
i got 5tb what i ordered, it just showed up after 7 days, website never got updated with the dispatch details until it was delivered to me yesterday. got maxtor instead of samsung that all the difference
From the reviews of each I read (plus what adnanasif has said), the Samsung version has a larger 64mb cache and spins at 7200rpm - it is a seagate baracuda drive with fast (>100MB/s) read write speeds. In stark contrast, the Maxtor drive which is cheaper on Amazon) isn't. Much smaller 16mb cache and spin speed (<6000rpm) resulting is poor reviews when it comes to speed. If Groupon advertised a Maxtor drive and send a Maxtor drive, that would be business as usual. They can't be allowed to sell Samsung and ship Maxtor, that's like selling a Porsche and supplying a VW. No reply from Groupon yet, I'm launching a PayPal complaint in 24 hours. Might get to keep the drive and get my money back..... now that would teach Groupon not to lie and cheat and con the general public.... especially if we all did it!
Update - Maxtor brand has a Seagate Archive drive inside it. Shingled Magnetic Recording, which is h0r$e $h!+.
I ordered 5tb but got maxtor instead. still waiting for Groupon to respond back to my email
hey man, can you please check what is the cache memory of your 6tb samsung harddrive and whats the spin speed. i am considering returning my 5tb maxtor and get 6tb instead if its performance is better
I ordered 5TB and got Maxtor
128mb cache, 7200 RPM. Its a Seagate ST6000DX000
Drive Review
thanks Resonate, i will return my old drive and get 6tb instead also do the temperature always go over 57 degree's on 6tb model.
5tb model stay arund 52 degree's
I got a Samsung D3 station, it has a Seagate Barracuda ST5000DM000 inside I believe (will check later)
