Why on earth would anyone... ?
.... pay $688.99 for an HP-relabeled (now-discontinued) Seagate
ST4000NM024 drive? NewEgg Item# 1Z4-000P-001N6 (Zoom in on the picture to see the Seagate model#). Are there people who really think that if they have an HP computer they have to replace a failed drive by one with the HP logo on it? Perce |

Are there people who really think that if they have an HP computer they have to replace a failed drive by one with the HP logo on it? Because some customers will not or can not order generic HDDs for replacements of defective gear. Those customers MUST get an exact replacement for what was in or what goes into the computer. You didn't bother to give a URL to Newegg's item. I searched on the Newegg item number (that you did provide) and found: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...1Z4-000P-001N6 Only the 2nd pic can be zoomed and is legible. No mention of "Seagate" but there is the "ST" model prefix. It is only a guess that some string somewhere (and not as the Model Number value) means it is a Seagate manufactured device. So then I search on the "ST4000nm0024" string figuring *maybe* it is a Seagate model number. At newegg, found: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9SIA67S3N30033 At $272, that's priced more than twice than other 4TB SATA3 HDDS. They even have a similar spec'ed Seagate 4TB SATA3 HDD (same RPM and same buffer RAM, too) for $169 at: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9SIA2W021H6289 Go do a search on "HP K4T76AA" to see what others are asking for price. While outrageous to you, Newegg was similar to pricing by others. https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/HP...s/3653418.aspx https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ..._rpm_sata.html https://www.amazon.com/HP-SATA-7200-.../dp/B00VT1OWQC http://www.provantage.com/hpe-k4t76aa~7CMPT6T2.htm If generics or substitutes are not an option, you are hostage to whatever pricing the sellers demand. |

No mention of "Seagate" but there is the "ST" model prefix. New glasses required. It says quite clearly at the bottom of the image HDD Manufactured by Seagate Technology LLC The model is ST4000NM0024, the part number 1HT178-065 (I got that by entering the serial number into Seagate's Warranty page - there is no warranty, BTW, it's on HP.) It is only a guess that some string somewhere (and not as the Model Number value) means it is a Seagate manufactured device.
