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.

Got one last year in a Black Friday sale. It's decent but make sure you research your needs first, the CPU is weak (e.g. you cannot watch HEVC encoded video on/from it).

I've not had any issues with any of my 4K videos, not sure if I have any encoded like that though.

I added 1TB of cheap Teamgroup NVME's [amazon.com] and 16GB of Samsung RAM [amazon.com], 4x4TB WD RED's [amazon.com] that were refurbs for $60 each and it's blazing fast to browse and start playing a video. The drives were all manufactured in January this year and checked out just fine. Great NAS so far.

Newegg used to be my go-to, but in the last 5 years they are a hard NO for me.

My main reason to go for Synology is the use of hybrid NAS. By mistake I've bought different size NAS drives and I realized after return time expired.

Quote from Ananke :
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 got couple 18TB WD Red Pros for $299 each recently.
How likely do you think that we will see much lower prices over the next ~months?
I am thinking about returning these, and buying more drives on a better deal to have a bigger, proper array in TrueNAS.

I don't expect retail prices of hard drives to dive unless we have a full blown economic depression, and the trend for now is actually a stagflation, i.e. reduction in business activity and manufacturing, and rapid price increases. Hard drives are enterprise tier commodity - prices will probably start growing once energy and logistic expenses begin trickle to manufacturing costs. Just to think - energy and logistics to bring goods from overseas are around 11 times higher than a year ago and there is no reason for these costs to come down. They will slowly start to be included in end-customer prices, probably after the summer.
I doubt hard drives price will drop, where you have only a couple of manufacturers with very strict ability to constrain quantity. Maybe a little glitch in Q4 this year, and then everything enterprise grade will shoot up in prices.

Those looking for an enclosure, check out the QNAP deals that are on Amazon and other vendors - the IMHO comparable 453D is currently discounted to $439 at many places. I was able to swipe one off ebay with an additional $50 ebay discount, so it came to $390+tax, sold by Newegg.

Around black Friday season, they usually have a discount but they sell out fast. You might see something Prime Daye/Weekend week etc. But once you see it , just purchase don't wait. It wont last long.

Deals pop up all the time - indeed. But $205 for 16TB Red PROs (not Plus) was a HDD deal of the year--easily, and I doubt a deal this good will happen again any time soon. I am so mad my alerts didn't get triggered by that one.

But decent deals will surely be here.
lol this 16tb/$200 deal activated at 3AM and was dead within an hour, came back in stock at 5AM.

I'll keep my $50 savings and sleep through the night.

Just got these today. They bubble wrapped the hard drives inside two small boxes which was in turn packed with bubble wrap inside a bigger box. I haven't tested the drivers yet, but look to be packed well.
