I hate what has happened to HDD prices lately, but for a midsize and relatively reputable drive, this seems somewhat reasonable @ $17/TB.
I've had the itch to upgrade my old 3TB WD Red that's been acting as an NVR drive for 6+ years now. I probably should considering its power-on hours.

Edit: B&H Photo has it for $170 too if you want to avoid Amazon - this is probably who they price matched: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr..._7200.html

Community Reviews

The WD Red Plus 10TB is a NAS drive that lands around $16 to $17 per terabyte, which makes it feel reasonable for a reputable midrange model. It is being compared with larger Red Pro options and 12TB Red Plus drives, but the 10TB stands out as the simpler capacity choice for a basic NAS or NVR upgrade. The drive is air filled, while only the WD120EFBX 12TB Red Plus is helium filled. Shipping and stock are the main friction points, with Amazon often slow and some alternate listings already out of stock.

  • The drive can work out around $16 to $17 per terabyte, which keeps the cost reasonable for a WD Red NAS option.

    CaleoFatito

  • WD's own store can offer the same price with free shipping, which can reduce total checkout cost versus other retailers.

    ptraugotptraugot

  • B&H checkout can stack PayPal cash back offers, which can lower the effective cost for a multi-drive NAS build.

    lcountermanjuliaswak

  • The WD Red Plus line uses air-filled construction for this 10TB model, which avoids helium-variant confusion when matching part numbers.

    dabobedgarwong

  • The 10% off coupon may not apply to already-discounted prices and can even increase the final price.

    Caleodgstan

  • Shipping timelines can be a drawback because Amazon orders may show 3+ weeks of delivery time.

    dgstan

  • The 10TB WD Red Plus model may be avoided due to concerns about loud operation, even though closet placement could reduce impact.

    dabob

  • WD orders using PayPal cash back can get stuck at an "order confirmed" status for more than a week.

Those reviews are 4 years old. I read in the Amazon reviews "WD RED PLUS 12TB (JUST the 12TB) is helium filled and very quiet", so for $30 more you get 2TB increase and low noise. Anyone know the truth here?
Good callout. Looks like only one of the two 12 TB variations, specifically the WD120EFBX is helium filled of the current Plus line. The rest (including this 10 TB one) is air filled.

WD's site shows the 12TB as WD120EFGX so not helium filled.

I was hoping that was the case since they do take paypal and can get the 20% off


edit:

the other deal posted for newegg shows the helium filled version and they also take paypal. i wish i didnt need (4) of them for my NAS

FYI I've avoided this specific 10 GB serial number due to the purported loudness of the drives. May not bother everyone esp if your NAS is in a closet.

Nice find. That image with the specs is useful too (attached here just in case). That noise level rating alone makes it compelling to just throw an extra $30 at the 12TB.
Power requirements are also lower on the 12TB, too. Both likely because of helium fill. Nice.

Edit: Apparently the 12TB Red on sale for $200 is NOT helium filled

If you are interested in the Pro version, there are WD122KFBX and WD121KFBX. The first one is air-filled with a 512mb cache. The second one is helium w/256mb.

I just started looking for drives for my first NAS.
Why have prices gone up so much? Anything more to it than inflation?

And any recommended drive specific sites besides diskprices.com to monitor?

Not all 12TB have helium according to WD's data sheet. It depends on the part number.

I saw it come up on the related deals bottom banner. I think even the tittle said helium in it. Search sucks and now I can't find it.

I had not been following HDD prices since the data center building boom. Are they similar to the jump in memory prices?

at least for used drives, enterprise grades drives were really affordable. They've been nearly double the low point for about a year now.
