Seagate pulled a horrible thing with earlier versions of Ironwolf. They sold the higher capacity models with 7200rpm. But it looks like they were not mechanically stable for that speed and there has been a lot of reports of the same problems as mine, eating away their sectors slowly with increasing reallocation until they die or slow down considerably.
They quietly replaced some of the same models with the same number but spindle speed slowed down to 5600 rpm. So, the earlier performance numbers in reviews no longer apply.
I would not recommend any of the 7200rpm IronWolf drives at the moment.

Just in the past year, with a few good reliable drive generations available, I finally was willing to consider seagate again after the disaster that was the 7200.xx series.

My guess is WD just got a huge inventory situation perhaps with an OEM cancellation and moving these units via Amazon with a special deal as a retail box. Retailers like Newegg sitting on an inventory of EFRX wouldn't like undercutting sales of those units and their pricing with a thin margin deal.
WD, based on the website, may be using this model going forward for retail markets and retiring the EFRX.
