For anyone looking to build a NAS, I'd recommend buying *used* HGST Ultrastar He8 drives on Amazon. They are 8gb for $106 ($13.25/GB). They come with a 5 year warranty, which beats the warranty on this WD drive by 2 years, and you are getting a legit enterprise level 7,200 rpm beast of a drive. The ones I have gotten came with anywhere from 3-5 years of up time on them already (but only powered off like 15 times), but that's a drop in the bucket for these enterprise drives. People say they are a bit louder than WD Red drives, but I haven't noticed it even though my server is in my living room. At the end of the day, all hard drives are at risk of failure, but a 5 year warranty shows how serious these drives are, especially when WD will only warranty a new drive for 3 years. I don't really see the downside (of course I run my drives in matched/mirrored pairs, so I'm not really afraid of a drive failure either way, but these are a great value).

Excellent deal for a branded drive built for NAS. No shucking req'd or compromised warranty. If I had not stocked up on 14TB EasyStores during the Best Buy deal around BF ($170 after discount), would be all over this.

$15tb is a decent deal. Not as good as 14tb for $199 that happens occasionally at best buy but you have to shuck them.

I think there's a reasonable chance you see a drive in the 14-18 range at a better per TB cost, but unless someone has the inside track, I don't think anyone here can give you a definitive answer.

$15/TB is best price that I have seen for a branded NAS drive with full 3 year warranty. Yes, you may find a lower price per TB but it is almost certain to be a shucked drive which also means you are now playing HD roulette because there is no guarantee what drive you are going to receive in an external enclosure. I wouldn't hesitate on this deal if 12TB drives fits your needs. I don't see any downside...except for perhaps buying from Newegg but that's it.

Just look on slickdeals:

Better deals might not be up for long, but there are better deals that have shipped from Amazon posted here.

Yes, they are very rare.

According to Newegg it's WD120EFBX drive. A little google searching shows CMR, 7200rpm, and not helium filled.

My 2 cents is that these are fine in most home NAS/builds, but could run a little warmer since there's no Helium and spins faster, but as always YMMV. Excellent deal for a Red/Red Plus.

Oh and it's a little sweeter if you check out using Paypal set up with Discover. 5% Category this quarter.

All the Plus and Pro drives are always CMR.

I grabbed them on a card with an extended warranty instead, which should cover the 4th year if any go bad.

Is it a nightmare if you have to return them to Newegg after testing?
