This is a very good deal. Unless prices drop on Friday or Monday, this is the lowest price per TB out there at the moment... I would gladly pull the trigger, except WD is a crappy vendor that is famous for terrible packaging and shipping their hard drives and then refusing to resolve the problems they created in the first place. As much as I want to get a couple of these drives, I will wait for Amazon or Newegg to match this price.

Any idea what difference does the disk with 128MB cache vs. 256MB cache makes for use in a NAS? I tried searching on google but not finding any direct/easy to understand pointer to read about it. They show 128MB disks more expensive than 256MB cache size disks. I would think more the merrier but based on the price it seems less is better, is it really? Any expert comments?

Would a pair of these work well for a Raid 1 configuration in a Synology? Looking to get the 920+, start with two drive then later add more drives and upgrade to Raid 5 if I need the space.

Yes, exactly what you want unless you prefer a 5400rpm drive for lower power consumption and noise.

Nas drives are more about having constant up time, not really anything different speed wise.

Nah, pretty much any hard drive would be fine for that, unless you're running your Plex server 24/7.

Seems like a solid deal, but I feel like I might as well hold out a couple more days to see what Black Friday brings.

It's preferred that you do because the NAS drives are designed to be running 24/7, whereas your standard hard drive isn't made specifically for that. It'll still work, but as far as longevity goes, the NAS drives will likely outlast the standard drive in a Plex server.

Thanks for the heads-up. I almost decided just to go ahead and pull the trigger but I'll also wait to see if Amazon or another retailer matches.

Bumping this question - I'd like to purchase from / pricematch at Best Buy.

On WD, I see for $130 Model: WD80EFBX for the 256mb version
On Amazon I see for $237 Model: ‎ WD80EFBX for the 256mb version
On Best Buy, searching for WD80EFBX doesn't turn up anything.
I see an otherwise identical-looking Red Plus listing for $170 that has Model: WDBAVV0080HNC-WRSN, SKU: 6449004
