Many people don't trust those drives, so yes, this is a good deal if this is the drive you're looking for.
So many storage deals but I'm still waiting for a NAS system deal…
Just want to point out that the Red Plus have a 3-year warranty, whereas the Red Pro has 5.
Also, the Pro type is supposed to last longer than the Plus.
I own both types for almost 3 years and so far my Red Plus (5400rpm) is still going strong.
But good deal nevertheless; thinking of jumping on that deal since the Plus are 7200rpm; my NAS might be louder than usual though

Good price. This model typically goes on sale for right around $209 and currently sitting at ~$250-260 right now. So getting new retail direct from WD is a plus.

Better deals on exos models recently on Amazon with 5% back... not an impressive deal.

If you just search for "14Tb" here on SD, you'll see this is pretty much the standard price for a any 14tb NAS drive and has been for a while now so this being $420 for 2, isn't a deal at all. Am I missing something?

Those people (at least in recent forum posts and especially in here) almost universally seem to distrust them because a couple of quickly discontinued drive models didn't look as good as some others on a backblaze report, when WD red plus isn't in them at all due to being a lesser class of drive (in terms of durability/performance/vibration rating).


I shudder to think what would happen if we ran WD red or red plus for our data needs.

But then again, most people on here appear to want to stick a couple of drives together to back up movies on. For that application, it probably won't make much of a difference.

This is a pretty solid price these days, and the red plus line is decent for home or small business use.
