Duo has two 8TB drives in it. That's why the case is so wide. This is a single 16TB drive.

Suppose for raid, duo is needed. Is it a REALLY good price at 369?

If you want the convenience for a single box with two drives then perhaps but you can pick up two 8TB Easystores at Best Buy for $90 cheaper.

I would get a Qnap and not look back, synology has such limited hardware for what they charge, with the only positive is the software raid it can generate using mixed capacity drives.

Quote from KingDDD :

This would work fine for a NAS if you shucked it, but that does void warranty, also might have to make a power pin modification depending on the NAS box you go with.

18TB UK one has no warranty outside of the UK/Europe.

This one is good for a NAS. You would need to remove it (shuck it), and might need to cover up a power connector pin with a bit of tape. So long as you keep the case, you can put it back in there if you need to do a warranty replacement.

I'm in no hurry but I'm out of the loop on drive pricing right now. To anyone willing to share, what sort of price per tb (for a proper warrantied drive) should I be hoping for before I rip my face off and buy?

Looking back at your QNAP is advised with all of the security issues Wink

Don't forget, folks, that the best deals may be direct from WD.... in late Nov is when I expect their best sales.. and rak10 may well again offer 10 if not 15% cash back.... Use WD's Easy Recycle program and get a coupon for 15% off on anything, sale items or not..... I just sent in another drive... sent one in early last summer, not realizing that its coupon would expire in 90 days.
