Before the flood the Seagate Green 2TB was found as low as $70 regularly. Does the NAS features and bigger cache demand the extra $39 for this? Don't think so. Not yet.

The Red drives are worth the extra money if you are putting them in a NAS. There are features specific to NAS. It's not the right drive for other uses. Here's a link that explains the benefits.
