Everyone should send a drive to WD for recycle. You'll get a 15% off coupon and can use it for as much stuff as you'd like. Wait till rak10 has their biggest cash back and WD has their best sales..usually in November. 16 months ago, I scored a 16 tb WD Red Pro for $230!!!! List is ~$560!! This fall, I got 2 14 tb's at Best Buy for $170 by exchanging 2 old drives for credit. Did the same at WD which brought the final price to ~$140!!! Sold one of the 3 14's for $200! I do wheel and deal. I sold 2 8 tb's and a 10 tb for $310 total... not bad as they were used. Sold 2 8's for about 120 ea a year ago, but they were new.

Did the tape or the drive fail? I would assume the drive but the context makes me think the tape.




Not to make light of sushiserv situation but from my own little sample size, my 4 from mid 2020 and 4 from bf 2021 have been fine. The only issue I had was when I moved my 4 drives from 2020 the tape came off and I had to reapply it.

If you do decide to go this route here is the tape I bought and a link to instructions on which pin to cover.

Maybe it's a competitive price if you need it right now, but having purchased a few 14TB externals for $200 in November 2021, this isn't something I am going to pull the trigger on.

There's a tape trick you have to do, but it works.

Granted, I've had a few fail so far.
