What is hilarious is that you're both wrong. Twice I've bought this at 160. Twice they were REDs with 128GB cache.

You are wrong. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822235063 And yes, these drives were inside of EasyStores.

What a cesspool of misinformation. Early versions of these drives were manufactured in China and had 128 MB cache. Follow your own advice and look it up thou high and mighty.

I am running UnRaid, so not a real hardware raid setup. But I would be planning on using these drives as my dual parity drives, so I don't know if it would bottleneck the entire system or not.

EasyStores do not have encryption. MyBooks do. It will clearly say it on the packaging if it has it as it's a "selling point."
