Read the reviews on the Amazon page. It sounds like Seagate's selling
the 4TB drives, but only in USB enclosures. Reseller are taking the
3.5" drive out of the enclosure and reselling them individually at a
markup.

I only posted the link to the Seagate drive, since that was the first
one that popped up in my search. Point is, the 4TB drives do exist.
