  • MuddyRubber on 25/12/2022 - 23:04

    Cheers. Have had the 4TB Blue at $125 waiting for boxing day but this is better.

  • toyapple9 on 25/12/2022 - 23:13

    Is this good for NVR 4k reolink secuity camera system? Or purple wd is better?

    • Pixie13 on 25/12/2022 - 23:41

      Purple is specifically designed for nvr

      • DoctorCalculon on 26/12/2022 - 00:04

        Agreed. Happy to pay the extra $$ for WD Purple. Haven't seen any deals on these for a while now.

      These are in the supported list and also listed as recommended.

      "For Western Digital, there are three series that can be recommended: Red, Gold Enterprise, Purple Surveillance"

      I would go for this

    sorry for my ignorance.
    it doesnt look noticably cheaper than sata SSD.

    what makes this price reasonable?

      These are mainly used in home servers that are intended to be left on 24/7

        when running 24/7 NAS HDD better than SSD?

          When $ matter

    • corgi-runner on 25/12/2022 - 23:32

      4tb SSDs hover around the $400 mark so this is a great price for that level of storage

      • javawoo on 25/12/2022 - 23:33

        sorry was confused with 2TB and too late to edit

        • netsurfer on 26/12/2022 - 00:28

          BX500 2TB is most likely QLC and DRAMless. Not only that, due to the use of SATA3 and Crucial opted for a 4 channel controller, you could be looking at 85MB/s on BX500 once the SLC cache runs out. That's worse than this HDD in terms of writes. Not to mention BX500 2TB is still $51 more expensive than this 4TB HDD.

      This is 4tb? Where are you finding 4tb ssd for 120 lol cause I want some at that price

  • niagraBzO on 26/12/2022 - 00:19

    Hi, hope some one can guide. have a WD mycloud 2nd Gen with 2TB. Was working fine and its seems brick with red light.. current one is 2 TB WD RED. Can any previous owner confirm if I can swap 2 TB with 4 TB? or it wont work due to firmware or any other limitations?

  • Hornpub on 26/12/2022 - 05:50

    ZX notion from the SN means it has 128MB cache
    PX will have 256MB

    Any 8TB deals?

    I want one, but will Amazon pack it properly? Or will they run it over with a forklift 100 times before delivering it to me?

    • Rumbaar on 26/12/2022 - 09:51

      Yeah, this would be my number one concern. Floating in a box with some paper to hold it steady.

        With all their half-baked ai/laser tech shemozzling you'd think we'd get at least 1/5 packages delivered in the:

        1. Right size box
        2. Right amount of packaging
        3. Right-ly delivered bullet-hole free

        and placed up-RIGHT!

  • motion2082 on 26/12/2022 - 09:35

    8TB is the sweet spot these days but this is still a good deal

    • gamerkonks on 26/12/2022 - 10:52

      I thought 14TB was.

  • Tradey on 26/12/2022 - 10:32

    We gave up on WD Red drives. Were replacing them in NAS units every 1-2 years. They just didn't last… ?

    • notme on 26/12/2022 - 10:48

      Ive had similar experience the last few years.

      'We'?

      What brand did you switch to?

    Thanks OP. Now to wait for a DS920 sale.

  • Frunk on 28/12/2022 - 17:45

    Currently showing $116.84 each, having dropped 12 cents in the time I've been looking at the page. :P

  • sominaik on 12/01/2023 - 14:44

    Hi folks,

    I just received the 12TB WD Red Plus from Amazon US via AU. The packing was alright, not marks on the package which could suggest of any physical damage but have found a very small mark on the side plastic body. I am currently running the surface test on it, so far no bad sectors or anything .. Do I need to worry about that small mark?
