The only reason is I already got the Seagate before the WD Red deal came out. Since I already opened the box (but have not shucked the enclosure), I just don't feel like returning it. That's all. ...

Thank you both! I picked one up from Frys from this thread a few days ago and also got in on the WD Red 8TB you referenced too just this morning.
Much appreciated!

A crippled one, perhaps. That's not a "regular" Barracuda Pro. Thanks for the insult! Appreciated. FYI, my 5900rpm Archive Seagate 8TB get faster read speeds (220MB/s).
