You can get a $5 voucher by joining the Centrecom Club Elite tier for free. Currently, WD is running a promotion that offers a $25 e-gift card if you buy two of these HDDs.

I compared the WD Red Plus with the Seagate IronWolf, and based on some Reddit comments, I chose the Red Plus because it’s less noisy. The price between the two is the same (5400 RPM). I know the current price is much higher than in 2023, but this seems to be the reality now, and we have to accept it. It’s very unlikely that HDD prices will drop in the next 6–12 months -AI demand is probably to blame.

According to Forbes:
In 2025, average sales prices (ASPs) of HDDs are up 8.4% quarter-over-quarter and about 17% higher than two years ago. Western Digital and other manufacturers recently raised prices again in late 2025 due to continued strong demand and shipping delays—sometimes as long as 10 weeks—driven by hyperscale and enterprise deployments.

Surcharges: 0% for bank deposit, Afterpay & Zip Money. 1.2% for VISA / MasterCard & PayPal. 2.2% for AmEx.

Free shipping excludes WA, NT & remote areas.

  Does anyone have any recommendations for a 3.5" HDD for storing movies? My old 2TB WD green is now full. Looking for 8TB size at a minimum.

    I have an 8TB WD blue for this purpose as it is a CMR drive

      I wouldn't be putting a blue drive in a NAS.

      • WD Blue is perfect for general computing needs—ideal for personal computers and external storage.
      • WD Purple is the right choice if you’re building a surveillance system and need reliable, continuous video recording.
      • WD Red Plus is your go-to solution for NAS systems, providing the durability and performance needed for data storage in network environments.

      wouldn't an SMR drive be better for movie storage?

  I’d probably buy a used enterprise drive. At that money you can get about twice the capacity from East Digital.

    No, no no!
    Well at least not for anything important, east digital is second hand drives!

    If rather get a barracuda new!

  Good and quiet drives, I've got two that I bought for $270ea via eBay which was the cheapest at the time.

  This is a solid deal when you buy 2 and the $25 egift card (usually a Visa or Mastercard)
