Amazon just recently had a 2x 14TB Red Plus for $400 deal. Then there was a better deal for 16TB Red Pro deal shortly after for same price/per drive I believe.

I realize that was then this is now but seems deals on these are popping up more frequently. Throw in that Newegg is the vendor and I would say to give it more time unless you need this immediately. Just my .02

Past deal for 16TB: https://slickdeals.net/f/15839197-western-digital-wd161kfgx-16tb-wd-red-pro-nas-internal-hard-drive-204-48-fs-on-amazon?v=1&src=SiteSearch

Same here, more than once. I don't order hard drives from the Egg anymore.

Thanks OP! In for 1 set. Went with these over the WD_Black Gamestop deal for my NAS

Good choice. These drives serve the purpose of being in a NAS much better then the WD Black 7200 RPM drives you mentioned.

What was your experience with the packaging?

Last time I bought HDDs from Newegg they came in a box with molded foam inserts that seemed designed specifically for hard drive transport and seemed pretty solid, but I was buying 8 drives at the time so I don't know what it's like if you're just picking up one or two.

I'm new to this NAS thing can someone recommend a 2 or 4 bay nas case or system I would need to buy to put these in. Also does the nas hook up to my pc via USB 3?

a NAS generally hooks up via Ethernet, what you described is a DAS.

as for NAS systems, https://www.amazon.com/QNAP-TS-25...0897C5TX6/ may be an option, but might also be overkill if you're just storing files and photos

Nice, but wouldn't 2 for 20tb GOLD be better?

Yeah, I missed out on it like others. Had gone with the 2x 14TB earlier and would have gladly cancelled that one for 3 of the 16TB Red Pro drives.

I would be reluctant to buy from NewEgg, but for a different reason: Because they engaged in what essentially amounts to fraud (GamerNexus scandal).

As far as packaging, I don't even know who packages HDDs well these days. Even BH Photo's packaging from a recent deal was subpar. WD is bad (from what I heard), Amazon is bad, NewEgg is bad. Who is left?

Buy from a B&M store? No guarantee HDDs don't get abused in transit to a store either.

Depends what your priorities are.
Golds are supposed to be more reliable, true enterprise drive, BUT people say they are also much louder and they also consume significantly more wattage even at idle. IIRC, PROs consume around 3 Watts at read, whereas Golds around 5-5.5 Watts. They are hungry little puppies. Smilie

Considering that even Netflix has subscribers loss and forecasts worse, because people cut on monthly Netflix expenses due to high price necessities, all analysts expect discretionary spend to tank. Electronics and clothes are the very first that get affected. In 2008's Great Recession electronics was regularly 50%+ discounted, and mid-tier boutique labels had some crazy 75-85% discounts during Christmas and after holidays.
While staff like hard drives is more like non-consumer grade capital expense type, it might be also affected, let alone the collapse of crypto and related commercial data traffic needs...
Above said, I would not buy from a Chinese vendor like NewEgg unless given for free. NewEgg<>deal

I was actually thinking of this Dell desktop which I think supports 2 3.5 drives, and installing Truenas.
