You may want to avoid the 20TB as that uses SMR:

Wouldn't purchase for long-term capacity needs. Prices per GB likely dropping by mid-2023 has much larger capacity drives ship out to both consumers and businesses.

Seagate and WD sales of HDs keeps dropping (because of SSDs, etc.). Manufacturing lower capacity HD drives won't be worth it.

Yes, there's inflation, but I don't see inflation as an issue for computer electronics. I think it's going the other way as consumers will want to spend less and get more. The big push for WFH electronics has gone through. Now plants are at full capacity and eager to bring in revenues fast. Small stick streaming devices are plentiful and given away for almost free. There will be less demand for consumer high storage needs for most, though some will go the other way.

Attached chart of anticipated capacity shipments going forward.
I use 12 of these drives in my NAS. The two model numbers I've seen are WD140EDFZ and WD140EMFZ, though it may be different with newer models (my oldest ones were manufactured Dec-2019).

They are 5400rpm but I still see upwards of 200MB/s read/write.
I honestly don't think so but could easily be wrong.


I believe that they added the easystore line to the exclusions earlier this year.


Correct for today - this should be for everyone starting tomorrow. I'm hoping I'm not wrong but apologies if I am. Worst case scenario everyone just starts downvoting it Smilie

Yup. Overall though it's been pretty rare.

For two years now. I guess with inflation, this is good as it gets.

Oh boy eyesores! Anyone confirm what drives are in these? Are they worth shucking for something like a NAS?

Do you think the price for a 14tb external will decline more next year if there's a deep recession or is $200 a hard floor?

Can you stack this deal with any sort of promotions? I seem to remember a while ago there used to be recycling promotions for example for like 10-15% off?

I only really need one drive, but I'm tempted to get two. With inflation, IDK if it's going to get any cheaper than this.

Does anyone know if the drives are 5400RPM or 7200RPM.
