WD kept exactly the same $ per TB ratio for all of their deals — just rounded off to nearest suitable price (16TB - $250, 18TB.- $290, 20TB - $320, 22TB - $350). Technically, 16TB was a hair better (obviously to hit a more appealing price threshold,) but not enough to be a standout.
Unfortunately we didn't get any great NAS hard drive deal. Prices were generally higher than last year I think. Even refurb drive prices crept up.
If tariffs go up, this is going to be the best it gets for a long time.

Another thing to watch for is different specifications. If we look at the data sheet for the Pro line, we will see that average noise dBA varies noticeably. They are pretty loud from 12 to 18TB, then drop from 36 to 32 dBA for 20-24TB. It might be important for some - it was for me. When I started with my Unraid NAS, I was looking specifically for Red Pluses that are very quiet (with 10TB being a drastic exception). Unfortunately, they go up only to 14TB, so when I needed something bigger, I jumped all the way to 20TB (missed the 22TB deal) that should be less noisy, although still a bit noisier than the Pluses I have.
