SHR always uses one drive with the largest capacity for parity, so putting one 14TB in won't get you anything more than what the Synology has now. You will want to buy at least two 14TB drives. Replace one drive, wait for SHR to rebuild, then repeat with the other new drive. You will end up with 2TB more than current. If you were to replace all four 12TB drives, you would end up with 6TB more than current.
The golden question, what's inside?

Extended returns in effect if you're on the fence.


Purchases made October 13, 2020 through January 2, 2021 have an extended return period through January 16, 2021
These won't get lower. BB does this every year, they offer the BF pricing a few weeks ahead of BF and then again at BF. I buy their BF special drives every year and upgrade both my servers and sell off the drives from the year before. It's the exact same scenario every time. This year it's the 14TB. Last year was the 12TB, 10 before that and 8 before that.

What is shucking?
THERE'S ALWAYS ONE.

Shucking is removing the hard drive from the enclosure to use it in PC or NAS (network attached storage) unit. I suspect the majority of people who purchase these shuck them. I also suspect WD knows this, and is happy to eat the cost of the enclosure in order to ensure they'll never have to service for warranty, as shucking voids the warranty (generally speaking).

Thanks and sorry I was the one lol. I have a plex server and currently have a full 8tb and needed to upgrade. I just plug it into the back of my gaming pc and leave it on 247. Is there a better route to take than that?

In for 4 - free shipping, no tax.. $759.96. I just had a talk with the wife when Amazon Prime Days had the 12TB for 179... this is such a better deal. Glad I waited. Thank goodness for Slick Deal Alerts!

Any chances that this will go lower for Black Friday?

Do you know if those will go on sale and shuckable?
They're technically on sale right now at Best Buy but both models are sold out and not as cheap $ per TB as this 14TB.

What's the difference between this one and the previous sale on Amazon and BB for 12TB drives?

Curious - how do you fill 14TB?
Easy, 4k blu-ray remuxes for local viewing.

I bought the 14 that went on sale last black friday-ish. Not sure if that was air or helium. Is helium better, or worse?
