Deal Details
Not as sweet as last year's deals on these, but if like me you need something in a pinch to replace a failed drive in your NAS, it's definitely something to consider:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YD3G568/

Based on my research, these have WD white drives inside. Maybe someone can confirm?

By the way, 14TB WDBWLG0140HBK-NESN is CMR, for those who are wondering.

Uh i mean if you're spending $260... you might as well get the 20tb at $325. 14tb@260 is not even close to a good deal.

16tb direct from WD; $270, https://www.westerndigital.com/pr...60HBK-NESN (still not a good deal)

$200 is the "go-to" deal for the 14tb drives.

I'd hold off until BF if you can wait.

Yeah, I could not wait that long. I know that this is not a great deal, but better than nothing if you can't wait Smilie

Same price at Amazon if you get 5% cashback better to get it there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VCXW...dp_it&th=1

But if you can hold out some few more weeks and don't need it right this second there's gonna be lots of better deals coming around soon. Im at $250 for a 20tb, and i feel that is too high. But we should see that this year easy with the new 24tb models out.

I have a RAID-1 setup with all my documents, family pictures, etc, and one of the two 12TB drives failed on me yesterday. I have most things backed up off-site in the cloud, except some large videos. So I'm really nervous about running on one drive for even a few weeks.
