Best Buy 189.99 for 14TB deal is back.
Incredible price, for lots and lots and lots of storage
I now have 3 in my Synology 1019+
Is there an easy way to find out if that is a NAS specific HDD inside that thing? If so, I would shuck it in a heartbeat.
I just did some research and everyone on the interwebz have confirmed that these are in fact white label red drives.
I was getting ready to buy a couple of these and decide to look up some reviews. After reading for the past 30 minutes I don't think these drives are reliable enough to spend that much money on them. Even the 4 star Amazon reviews have a lot of problems.
4.7 stars at Best Buy is not good?
Whenever I see an overwhelming number of positive ratings and almost no bottom ratings, I don't trust them. 9 ratings of 1 out of 429 reviews just doesn't seem very likely. I'm just cynical I guess!!!
After there debacle previously with SMR drives being sold as NAS/Red, the introduction of "Red Plus" NAS drives, and the way in which WD handled the situation, I won't be purchasing, nor recommending, WD drives any longer.
Fair enough.
I bought one. Works great.
Yea, I only buy the ones where everyone says they are trash drives.
