they should do well as purple drives for DVRs are made for a lot of r/w.

This is a really good price for a bare drive. Cheaper even than shucking.

Though it does say "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months."

Are these 5400rpm?

And how do they compare to white label shucked drives?

Not mistake. It's now sold by Amazon for the same price. will this be ok for file storages? I bought the 18tb WD external for $300 from best buy, should I even bother to buy this and use some of my old enclosure to save $60?

Can't get this to process at that price. Jumps when added to cart.

got in on deal with $10 venmo promo. hmm... my nas is 14tb drives. After holiday shopping, I wasn't ready to spend on multiple of these drives. Probably should have grabbed a second for raid configs... but the price went up... I noticed that this deal was posted last night and got downvoted probably by resellers. Most likely sold out & then restocked with a few before amazon's algorithm upped the price after a certain number of purchase.

I don't see Amazon as the seller anymore. Until tomorrow night I guess, since I saw Amazon had the same price last night before it died. 😂

the purple is actually a better drive as its designed for lots of rapid r/w accesses

I posted the minute I got it. I think it went on stock for a hot second and got OOS again
