Definitely this. The Red Pro is rated at 2.5 million MTBF. The only Seagate that I'd pay money for is the Exos.

What's the T-website?
They don't allow to mention the name of those $back website. You need to search for it. The first three letters of the name is "top"

Does anyone know if the 10% email sign-up coupon stacks with this? It says "limitations apply," but I can't find what they are. It's taking forever to come in, and I don't even know if it's going to work on this if I wait for it.

It does not. "**10% discount offer valid only once per customer…This offer may not be combined, used in conjunction with or used in addition to any other promotion or offer."

How much louder is the Red Pro compared to the Plus? I have a 6-bay NAS running 4 Pluses, and they have been running whisper quiet for a couple of years. I may pull the trigger if the Pros are not much to louder.
Personally I'd go with 5400 rpm drives. I have 4x 7200 rpm drives in my nas (it's not a WD, they're all hgst) and my wife made me move the Nas from my home office (next to our master bedroom) to my furnace room in the basement... Unless you need the extra performance 5400 rpm should be fine for most cases.

In for a pair to upgrade a 7-year old RAID5 with 3 WD golds to a RAID1 in my desktop PC / photography workstation. Way more space than I actually need at the moment, but I was shooting for 8TB, and this is about as cheap as I've seen for two drives of even that size in a while. Happy to be moving from RAID5 to RAID1, and this setup should at least be 33% quieter and cooler. Stick Out Tongue Maybe a little more since the golds have basically zero noise dampening, and it sounds like these might be in the capacity sweet spot for relatively low heat and noise. Just hope these will be as reliable as the golds have been.

Aside from the warranty, are these better than WD white label drives 'shucked' from external drives?
You know what you are getting with these. A shucked white label could be junk or quality

Oof. The Golds are still $320 a pop.

I don't mind the noise as they're in a storage room, but I haven't seen the Golds go on sale in a couple years or so. Do I jump on these rather than wait any longer? They'd be paired with four Golds in RAID 6.

The SMR vs CMR debate is why my NAS has dual WD Red Plus drives, they've served me well so far. The seagate I currently have is in a USB enclosure, always connected to power but only turns on when my PC turns on. I'm hoping it lasts another 4 years but I don't want to hedge my bets, so I'm proactively looking for a replacement.
Got it Smilie ..... I wasn't sure if it was a situation where you backed up everything externally every 3 to 6 months or something like that in which case SMR might not be as much of a chance since there's (I'm guessing) less strain on the drive that way.. personally I would go with something reliable like this deal (WD Red ) long as it's CMR since you're using the drive every day.

Total change of subject but does noise from a hard drive bother you? There are some computer users who won't accept anything other than a whisper quiet PC that doesn't make any noise and who cares how expensive it gets ! Stick Out Tongue .. I've got three 140 mm case fans and a rear 120 mm case fan (case is designed so it can only take a 120 mm case fan in the back) plus a thermaltake peerless assassin with two 120 mm fans to cool the CPU so while I wouldn't describe it as obnoxiously loud you can definitely hear when my PC is on ..

I bring this up only because with that fan noise I"m not as likely to notice it anyways but I can still at times hear the mechanical hum and whine of the Seagate exos drive as it powers on and off and the crackling sound (during say the first few seconds of use) of the seagate firecuda ...the firecuda sound spooked the heck out of me at first and online tech support forums had varying opinions as to whether or not it's normal but a year later the firecude is working fine without any problems and some have ventured the opinion that 8 TB drives are just noisy.. as others have mentioned on here the 14 TB drives will probably be noticably louder than say the WD Red Plus drives..

I bring this up only because I wish someone would have warned me so I wasn't freaking out over the sounds my 8 TB drives were making back when I first bought them Stick Out Tongue .. well that and I wasn't sure if you were the kind of person who needs a whisper quiet PC? I think someone on here commented that the noise was so loud his wife forced him to move the offending four hard drives to a different room Smilie but of course the noise tolerance of individiuals is going to vary from household to household.

Genuine question, not being pedantic: Why this is a good deal? is the Red Pro a very good hard drive? I'm seeing the Seagate IronWolf Pro 12TB for $130 on amazon and the Seagate Exos X16 14TB for $195 on Amazon as well.
