BH Photo Video [bhphotovideo.com] has 4TB WD Red SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS Hard Drive (WDBAVV0040HNC-WRSN) on sale for $89.99. Shipping is free.
Good for those who do not want to spend $150+ on 6TB or larger size NAS drives. CMR technology and is being renamed "WD Red Plus" to distinguish it from the current "WD Red" product, which uses SMR technology.
Similar price at
Newegg [newegg.com].
This is also $5 cheaper than the
previous FP deal of $94.99.

Zero difference for basic purposes
I meant from a speed perspective. Is this a major step down? I appreciate the assistance.
These are mostly meant for NAS situations which are usually bottlenecked by the network speed.
Are they slower than 7200rpm? Yeah for sure. I wouldn't recommend it as a regular use drive.

I wouldn't pay any significant price difference for a 7200RPM drive. Where it used to make sense, it just doesn't any more.

I want more space to save more games and also some gameplay that I want to record to use as video, so I wanted to get another HDD for that.
Would this [newegg.com]be a good choice in your opinion give what you've said about speeds? It's 5900 RPM.
This [amazon.com] page shows the full specs.
Sorry WD. Go cheap, lose your customers.
The old reds were CMR, the new reds are smr. EFRX are CMR, EFAX are SMR. The new Red Plus are CMR.
