NEVER EVER BUY WD / SANDISK. THEY DO NOT HONOR WARRANTY. THEY WILL JUST TAKE UR DRIVE AND NEVER SEND YOU REPLACEMENT, AND ALSO REFUSE TO SEND BACK THE ORIGINAL DRIVE.
BBB 1/5 star review! https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-jos...216-388853
The deal's description says that the $290 pricing starts on the 26th, not now.
Good point. You might be able to disable the chassis fans if you're using all SSDs, but using SSDs will amount to absurdly expensive storage space versus traditional hard drives. Maybe relocating the NAS would be a better idea?

It's certainly not $/TB efficient, but Synology does have the DS620Slim that's tailored for 2.5" drives. 6 of these would be 20TB redundant volume in SHR/RAID 5, or 12TB in RAID1.
Use cases over just a normal 3.5" array? Not many, but if you need ultra-quiet, ultra-low power draw, portability, and/or an array that (with care) will likely live a VERY long time, it's an interesting option.
Not good at all for a 4TB drive. Rule of thumb when shopping is you want 600TBW per 1TB capacity. Maybe other WD 'colors' besides blue (black?) are rated better, but not super familiar with the system.
This is an okay deal if you absolutely need exactly 4TB 2.5" drives for some reason (NAS?), but you can regularly get 2TB Crucial MX500's for ~$160 each when they go on sale everywhere, it's not uncommon. Those have 1200 TBW.
a issue way overblown, 4TB Samsung 850 Pro flagship SSDs had the same rating
and Samsung 850 EVOs had way less. even power users moving datacenter workloads would need years to make a dent in that,

600TBW, pretty good?

I bought this same drive last BF, it dropped dead three months later without any warning.
Then it took WD almost three months to replace it under the RMA! I'm still angry about it.
WD support SUCKS. I recommend getting the 4 TB SanDisk SATA SSD drive that will be a similar price.
Welcome back to the WD family if you are just buying into Sandisk because WD bought Sandisk back in May 2021, in cash - they must had been saving up in cash by cutting back on service to be able to afford the acquisition /j.
