Westerndigital.com [westerndigital.com] is offering what I think is the best yet deal on ANY high performance and high reliability 16TB drive not only because the price is decent, but because you don't have to deal with the
5 years warranty issues when buying the non GOLD labels of this drive thru Amazon, Newegg etc 3rd party sellers (talking about the OEM versions of these drives).
$600 for both
