Any advice: go in for this, or the WD red plus 10TB thats also on sale?

mainly want to use the drives to backup photos/videos on my NAS (synology 224+)?

I bought a WD 'Red' drive for $128 almost 8 years ago...this price isn't even remotely slick.

Might as well spend $5 more to get 2 more TBs:

I think these things were selling for around $120 and less just earlier this year. Doesn't seem like all that great of a deal.

Why would you buy this over a 10TB Exos for less?
https://www.newegg.com/seagate-en...6822178941

Just curious. For home use I'd assume the Exos is still amazing.

I can't see any measurable difference in the specs. The Ironwolf has lower start up power requirements, which might make people with low end NAS's a little happier. The EXOS is 512e, which emulates 512b sector size, where as the Ironwolf is native 512bytes, so that does potentially make for lower performance in some extremely specific circumstances, but frankly that's extremely unlikely to occur.

HOWEVER, that price you're quoting is a 3rd party seller "Goharddrive" which is a notorious fake-refurbish reseller. They take used drives, and wipe the SMART data to make the drives look new. Sometimes they'll leave the SMART data intact but I wouldn't trust them at all unless you were not putting annoying important on the drives. The warranty is legit, but you're just playing with fire with drives more likely to fail from use.

In case anyone is interested, it looks like Best Buy has price matched the deal the OP posted.
Seagate - IronWolf 8TB Internal SATA NAS Hard Drive [bestbuy.com]
It is the ST8000VNA04 which is the retail version of the ST8000VNZ04/N004 in the Amazon deal. Identical specs, warranty etc.

if you are buying for a NAS make sure the drive you are buying is designed for NAS systems because those are meant to be running continuously. The drives tend to last longer than traditional drives. This meats that requirement.

Actually just purchased it for $109 on Neweggs Tic Tok shop using the 30% off coupon which takes $42 off the price.
