Dont forget, some synology cases max out at 16gb max per drive. check your NAS prior to purchase.

If your Synology NAS model has a CPU architecture of 32-bit (x86), you can create a volume of up to 16 TB.

If your Synology NAS model has a CPU architecture of 64-bit (x64), you can create a volume of up to 108 TB

If you want to learn about cashback and maybe monitor which sites offer what % of cashback there is a site that takes all of the various sites that offer cashback and will monitor all of them for you all in one place. To find it, I would google the words cashback and monitor.

This is nice, but if you are using for home and want it to run quieter and less heat, might want to wait for Plus instead. But if you need the faster performance and guaranteed longer reliability then Pro would be better

$16.67/Tb for the math challenged. Not really within the $14-15 per Tb "deal range" that most people expect but this is for a Red Pro so that might be worth the extra cheddar on a huge drive.
Turns out to 14.45$/TB if you use the wester digital link with the right cashback and card

Yep unless you need 18s, I think the sweet spot right now is 14 tb, which have been $190-210 on sale recently.

*edit* if cashback is available this is a very sweet deal indeed

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank tckelly38

10% cash back from rak if you buy off western digital and 5% cash back if you use PayPal with discover on western digital, $45 in cash back

If you wanna play the numbers game 300-45=255
255/18TB=$14.17/TB which seems to make this slick!

The other deal with 2 20TB for 750 under the same ideal:
750*.85=637.5
637.5/40TB=$15.94/TB

This indicates there will be some major deals around november/black friday. The demand for drives and supply chain issues caused higher prices for a few yrs. This is a great price but if you dont need it now, there will be some sharper prices in the fall.
