Your calculation is right, but your interpretation is off. The result means how many gig can be bought per dollar, clearly your dollar buys more gig for 6TB one.

To calculate the cost per TB, use

$75/4 tb = $18.75/tb
$110/6 tb = $18.33/tb

6TB one for $110 is cheaper per TB wise.

4000 / 75 = 53.33
6000 / 110 = 54.54
54.54/tb it is more expensive than 53.33/tb

you will want to do math as a statement. $/item.

seems like you are trying to say "53.33 gig per dollar" because you are doing item/$

Yes, I guess you're the only one bad at math Smilie

$75 / 4TB = $18.75 per TB
$110 / 6TB = $18.33 per TB

This was kind of my POV on this. It's $5-7 a drive, while not insignificant (I got 4), it's not going to break the bank either, especially since I am planning on changing out my drives.

It's also why I didn't care that much about the 4tb vs 6tb costs, it's pretty negligible in terms of price per TB (like ~40¢).

$179 for the 8TB seems really good
$169 at Best Buy is even better.

If price per TB is not a concern, then you should go for the highest density one because the bay is limited inside your NAS after all.

I setup a NAS last year with 8TB drives that still had 2 free spots so I pretty much need the 8TB and it's about $30-40 cheaper for each than when I bought the ones I already have in it. It's a good deal for me.

Yeah, like gas at $3.89/gallon. Just a couple weeks ago it was robbery. Now it's a deal. Just imagine the difference in narrative if the orange man was still at the helm 🙄

The 8TB drives were $150 each last week at NewEgg, but many do not like NewEgg.
