WD 3TB red (NAS drive) 140 shipped at ncix

After waiting for this price for weeks, I finally decided to pull the trigger on 4 a couple days ago when Amazon had them at $150 ...They were delivered yesterday.. UGH... and I tried to get Amazon to PM / credit me the difference this morning, but of course they won't.

If they PM this again, I will just re-order them and Amazon can eat the shipping back on the ones I bought for $150.


**edit** I also submitted the price match earlier.. so here's to hoping they do it.

Sucks... I bought four drives 2 weeks ago for $147 each. One drive DOA - sent back for replacement, had to pay shipping. That's their policy.???

Quote from waveofdestiny : Be sure to go here: http://www.amazon.com/WD-Red-NAS-...gital+3TB# And search for: tell us about a lower price? then click that and fill it out with info from NCIX's website. Good if we can get Amazon to PM

I put in my Amazon PM request. I hope others do too. There's not even NCIX cash back incentives with chase freedom or large-wallet, so I'm banking on Prime to sweeten the deal.

I think Amazon is snubbing their nose at us, because they've raised it to $162. So much for a pricematch

I put PM request in also

Quote from waveofdestiny : How strict are nix on their "limit 2" per customer? Can I just do two orders with them or will they cancel? Really need to grab four of these.

curious about the same

Dead...there goes the Amazon matching.

I'd go with Seagate Constellations over this for a NAS setup. More consistent performance and even better reliability. Intellipower is meh... Even a regular Seagate Barracuda outperforms one of these on most tasks.

I don't get the whole "Let's get Amazon to price match!" rally. If you're willing to pay the price offered for the product, then buy it from seller offering it at that price.

If NCIX and other sellers are rampantly losing sales to "amazon price matches", then as a business, the obvious solution is to stop spending your resources effectively advertising for your competitor (amazon).

And if you're set on only purchasing from Amazon, then stop looking at what any other seller is offering products for.

I'm going to re-post this on this thread, sorry if that's annoying:

WD's color codes:

http://www.wdc.com/en/products/internal/desktop/

Blue = Solid performance and reliability for everyday computing.
Red = Designed and tested for RAID environments.
Black = Maximum performance for power computing.
Green = Cool, quiet operation for efficient eco-conscious computing.
VelociRaptor = High-performance storage for power users.

Black and VelociRaptor have 5-year warranty
Blue and Green have 2-year warranty
Red has 3-year warranty

Black is only one with 4TB options at this point.

There are many reasons that some need amazon. I have prime so enjoy faster shipping. I also have several hundred in amazon gift cards. So why not try to get them to price match?

Yup. I have about 800 bucks in gift card credit at Amazon. So thats why some of us with PM along with the fact that we have prime also.

Looks like its back in stock

the amazon deal for $146 a few days ago was better since it was free shipping and no tax (CA) for me. It was actually through an amazon seller, fulfilled by amazon, that's why no tax. I ordered 5 but they only fulfilled 3 so I'm still looking for some more.
