Matches previous FP deals. I have four of these I shucked and have been running in my NAS - two are at ~900 days and the other two are at ~550 days (using in a PLEX server). If shucking you'll probably need to cover one of the pins with a piece of electrical tape. Here's a guide to that. https://www.instructables.com/How...el-Disks-/

Nothing too special, still repped though thanks OP.

$200 for 14TB is the standard discount for 14TB the last 5 years, shocked these haven't gone done further with 16TB/18TB/20TB/22TB on the market.

I really need another drive, and the 18TB looks like a good deal, but I've gotten WD Red Pro for $204.50 each, so now I feel I should wait for lower prices 😓

Dang, that's a great deal.
When were the 18TB Pro for $205 each?

I need to buy 8 of them so I'd like to wait for a similar deal.

It depends on your power supply, but I've had to do that with every drive I've shucked from 8TB on up.

You don't even need to use electrical tape or the fancy tape they recommend, regular Scotch tape works just as well.

Back in June of last year, via a special discount link for Amazon that was valid for a day. The lowest I've seen since then was ~$250.

Was going to ask which ones of these are more ideal to shuck for NAS; I have a 5 bay NAS I shucked (4) 14 TB drives a few years ago and would like to round it out. IIRC there are differences in drives that make them more or less friendly for NAS but honestly I forgot all of that.

I don't recall having issues with the SATA power "pin blocking" but I am pretty sure my current drives are reds, which at least used to be all the higher TB drives regardless of the application (whether bought bare drive, part of an external drive, etC)

Lastly since the power pin issue seems specific to certain PS, what flavor of NAS do you have? Could be NAS-specific. My 2 NAS are Synology.

Not required for Synology, I haven't had to tape any of mine. I did have to do that when I used my PC as a Plex server

Any idea what's in these easystores, e.g. the actual drives?

Just got a WD email, 2 18tb Red Pro's for $550. Not quite the $205 it was at its lowest, but an extra $20 aint bad.
