In this day and age, I'm not going to bother unless it's under $200. Shuck it.

The drive inside is a WD180EDGZ-11BLDS0, 7200 rpm, unknown cache/buffer. There's no guarantee that they all have that model drive inside though.

Should be earlier than this year's Black Friday. It seems that every year, the price of the next 2 TB higher HDD goes on sale for $200. I bought a 14 TB back in 2021. 2023 BF was for 18 TB. I'm...

It's more complicated than that, with amazon you return a lot of things but also spend a lot money purchasing and they won't care and still will treat you well. In my case I dropped amazon prime...

Don't think they tested it. The drive had a SMART error but still ran fine, they just sent me a new drive. And no... I zero out the drive before sending it in 👍

The other great thing about bestbuy is the replacement warranty -- they'll give you the full amount paid for anything (TV, VR headset, game console) years later if anything goes wrong. I got $999...

I do not unfortunately but these are supposed to be white label WD red pro drives which are not helium seal from what I've seen. I would say they're certainly a bit louder than my HGST HC520 drives....

Keep in mind, with the BestBuy credit card, you get 6% cash back in the form of bankable points with every purchase. I just used $40 cash-back from a ~$700 drone I got last year, so closer to $220...
