What I understand is that the written data affects a lot of other blocks, and the drive has to read and rewrite them again, making it sometimes horribly slow. As in so slow that the NAS thinks the drive is dead, and removes it from the pool.
This is not a problem for a lightly used desktop computer, just not suitable for NAS.

Trying to decide If I get this deal or wait for a shackle 10tb or 12tb around $180, knowing that inside will be a White drive.

I have the same thought. I already built the server though. Unraid is awesome. I bought the 10Tb from Best Buy for $200. It's good. I can always use more data though

yeps i bought 2x 10TB HGST 7200rpm NAS drives for $195 each 2 years ago (the current Red Pros).... prices have done nothing but go up since they were officially phased out for consumers.
Shoulda bought more huh.

They were just as likely to have dropped by 25%.
