Good price point at $15/TB

Know why the BB listing is a different model? WD140EFFX vs WD140EFGX

Can't find whether the BB listing has CMR or not.

EDIT: Has CMR. Don't see a clear difference on this WD chart
https://documents.westerndigital....us-hdd.pdf

The only difference was this footnote: Actual spindle motor rotational speed for this model is 7200 RPM; although ID Device may report 5400 to reflect previous Performance Class designation.

I would avoid this drive after looking at the datasheet: https://documents.westerndigital....us-hdd.pdf

It has 1,000,000 hours MTBF, a 3 year warranty and only rated for 180TB/year.

The Seagate ST14000NM001G 14TB drive has a 2,500,000 hours MTBF, a 5 year warranty and rated for 550TB/year. It has been on sale for $200 recently but is currently ~$230 at most etailers. I would pay an extra $20 to have a much better drive.

Pretty sure Red "Plus" is now their way of saying it's going to be a CMR drive.
But it's certainly not a bad idea to double check the actual model.

Iirc I don't think any wd drive above 8tb is non CMR

With labels I think they historically had one NAS/red model that was SMR, got tons of flak for it, and never moved into that confusing area again

Thanks, probably worth $10 more for WD vs the Seagate deals for $200.

Care to say why you're switching to Synology? I've been considering it as well. Just tired of the qnap interface and mine is getting old & slow

It was a known chip issue they ignored and it died in 4 years. I was able to fix it but only long enough to transfer everything. So I'm just not happy with them and all of my friends have Synology and are happy. It seems they are slow to update their hardware to the newest but otherwise solid.

Datasheets aside, backblaze tends to record a noticeably higher failure rate with Seagate than with WD.

I have Raid1 and the warranty at least adds confidence. But I think they're all fairly similar. WD and to be known for quality and doesn't feel like they need to play the marketing game. I think either choice is good but already pulled the trigger on WD.

Are all the 14TB 7200RPM now? Prefer 5400 to keep heat and noise down, had no issues needing more speed than that.

In for 2 from Amazon, had Rewards Points on my PrimeCard to ease the unexpected purchase. Big upgrade for us over here, only had a 4TB setup for media. Thank you OP, for sharing - you really made my day!
