Great deal, but I'm tired if the fact that every time Newegg has a WD Red deal, it's limit 2. I would guess that many people interested in these would want four or more, especially in this capacity.

I love how whenever a WD Red goes on sale, the first people to comment usually don't understand what a NAS drive is and downvote.
In for 2 - thanks!

Depends what you're doing with them I guess, but generally for media servers, HDD speed isn't the bottleneck.

Negative. I've only shucked one of them so far (WD Elements) and it was White. Haven't checked the WD My Book yet, it gets delivered tomorrow.

Yes. In my experience (and reading on SD), when shucking, there's a much higher chance of getting a white label drive over a red label drive.
