256GB Cache? Whaooo, they make the cache this big nowdays.
Typically you'd see that associated with the infamous SMR drives, but in this case you have a PMR drive with helium and a very strong caching system. This seems tailor made to pop into your second Synology NAS as the storage dump for all your backup images? Thankfully the third party seller does make it easier to resist for now.
I generally buy bigger size hard drives when they are around 15 dollars per TB.
20 dollars per TB is what this drive comes to.
pass for me.
Would you agree that $20/TB is the fair price these days for non-SMR drives? I've bought a few at $20/TB just because availability has been uneven. I definitely agree with you that $15/TB is probably the deal price.
Of course, this is all through major retail channels (Micro Center, Best Buy) and not 3rd party sellers.
I just recently purchased a Seagate Expansion External Hard Drive for $185.29+tax from Amazon last month which I shucked to recover a 10TB Barracuda Pro which I plan to use at some point in the future so it's a pass for me as well.
