Btw, I saw 4TB ones for 68.99 in B&H and thought maybe I over paid for these in Newegg. I compared the two and turns out model are different. B&H one is WD40EFRX with 64MB Cache and Newegg one is WD40EFZX with 128MB Cache. I paid $76.99 with $8 coupon. Don't know about you, but $8 more for 64MB more cache sounds not so bad at all.

Yes. It's the SMR drives you want to avoid.

Anyone purchase the protection plans for these drives? I have the older Red Drives that have been reliable for 5+ years.

I am debating between 8tb vs 10tb (2 drives). Total difference is $110 for both drives.

Any suggestions?
Are you starting a NAS? It's a great deal to start with the largest drive you can afford.

I started from scratch and purchase three 8tb and a four bay synology

Yes starting it. I guess 2 bays would be good for now. Overall it's close to 1000$ for me including enclosure .

For starters any tips ? Guides? I may end up YouTubing it perhaps

None from me brother. I had some help from big brother. He did all the research. I can't even recall what raid I'm running. The one that runs on three drives and reserves one for backups. Haha, my sorry nas lingo

Ok I do have some.

Read up on RAID. The one you choose will dictate the amount of drives you need to start.

I used raid 5 which requires at least three HDD.

Or google types of raid

Got two of the 4TB drives. As someone else noted they are the ones with 64MB of cache but they'll only be accessed over gigabit ethernet and the price is right. Thanks OP!
