could use some advice…my studio computer died today when i was exporting some stems. i’ve been running a RAID setup forever and wanted to switch to an SSD…today it crashed and won’t boot back up. I really need to just buy some new drives…what are the best deals? Samsung 850 Pro seems to be the look…500GB seems like best value, cheapest I could find is $360 on Amazon What is the best deal in a regular hard drive right now? I need at least 3TB of space not including my backup drives. ---

> [@llink78](#): > > go to [OWC.com](http://OWC.com) I find it hilarious you posted up otherworld. I am actually the person responsible for his account here at Ingram Micro (distribution.) The owner, Larry… pinches the hell out of me for HDD and SSD. Aside from him being a PITA to work with, OWC has a great reputation and solid pricing. He also makes a KILLING of HDD he buys from me… lol Small world. ---

Very nice, i find there customer service to be wonderful. I had a external drive from them stop working. I was slightly over the warranty period and all the lady did was ask it was ever dropped. Told her it just sits on a desk haven’t moved it in 3 years. Told me to mail it in and they will fix it, Ended up being a busted cable on the case. After the great service i spent some more $$ and picked up another SDD and battery for a mac. So what your saying is buy through you for a heavy discount 🙂 ---

The hdd space is super a tough, low margin, low back end space. Highly competetive. Back to OWC though. They run a great ship. Their recieving and facility are incredible. Really, just a solid company. I’d buy from them anytime! ---
