    Was this a SINGLE 4TB drive or TWO 2TB drives?

    Thanks

    This was a single 4tb HDD but it is already gone since it was a one day deal.

    Actually, it was 2x 2 TB drives in one enclosure, that could be combined into RAID 0 for 4 TB of total storage space, or RAID 1 for 2 TB of redundant space. Still just one enclosure, though, just with 2 drives in it.

    Seeing tons of 2TB drives for $99.00 in the last couple of months. I would not be ok paying almost $300.00 for a 4TB drive.

    I think the highest they have now is 3TB for single drives.

    Yeah, that's what I thought, thanks and for the person that thought 4TB was insane, I have a total of something like 20-30 TB's in my house in different units.

    THanks
