    Works out cheaper on Amazon US via AU, with Prime Membership, after you factor in the cost of delivery and tax from Amazon US.

  • Martop on 18/03/2019 - 16:21

    Don't these ones have green or blue ?

    $235.97 via AU

      WD don't make a Blue in 8TB and Green are discontinued (reserved for SSDs only now)

      These are usually Reds with a white label - I bought a few a couple of months ago

      Mine are white labeled helium something something, which is helpful because helium is inert or something.

      FYI the 4 of these that I've shucked are: WD80EZZX and WD80EZZX

      • Master Bates on 19/03/2019 - 23:15

        Is the WD80EZZX the same as the WD80EZZX?

        • yanman on 20/03/2019 - 09:19

          Derp I pasted the wrong one. Seem to remember the other one had a K

  • MuddyClear on 18/03/2019 - 16:34

    4 of these in your NAS makes 32TB. Why you need so much space?

      4 disks gives you 24TB after you account for parity. (even less if you want higher parity but you probably wouldn't do that with only 4 disks.)

      I'm planning to fill up my 8 bay nas with 8TB drives. Will be 48TB of space in raid z2 (two drive parity)

      4k media takes up a hell of a lot of space.

    • asa79 on 18/03/2019 - 23:17

      You lose one to parity and you get 24TB of space
      Which isnt much especially if you backing up Blurays at around 50GB each that is 480 Movies

    • yanman on 19/03/2019 - 21:21

      That's 22TB by the time you lose one for N-1 redundancy and then have it ready to address (about 9% loss). But that's not that much for collecting media and backups etc.

  • gugahoi on 18/03/2019 - 18:09

    Just double checking but yay/nay for NAS with these ones?

    • mahdoo on 18/03/2019 - 20:22

      Yay, but they've been at $230 before, and regularly come down to $260-$270 so not a rare deal.

    • vrsac on 19/03/2019 - 06:11

      Nay as got my 3X8TB WD elements with the same Helium filled drives for $215 each (search past deals).

  • trappy76 on 18/03/2019 - 21:18

    Thanks OP. Grabbed one. Been meaning to consolidate my media onto one drive. Don't forget the backup too!

  • asa79 on 18/03/2019 - 23:16

    What drive is in them, a RED?
