[DEAD] WD reds 4/8TB $90/$200 via shucking - update, 8TB reds now $180, 4TB deal looks dead.

Through enough courage to withstand the urge to buy these, I was able to remove these from my shopping cart. I feel accomplished!

These only have a 2-year warranty on them correct?

Yes, it is apparently tied to the enclosure. So, if you break the enclosure while getting the drive out or back in, you're probably out of luck...

Price on the 8TB DROPPED another $20 down to $179.99, its also curently a front page deal on slickdeals. RIP stock.

Did the price match, the deal is even sweeter.

Got the price match! Thanks! Had to place multiple orders as they would only allow 3 per order...

Did you guys have to call BB to get this on your orders @ 199?

I got two at local bb, had to ask them to check website for lower price which they did. I'm using hddscan to test them before opening them up. Is that the good enough way to test in windows environment?

Still debating if I want to order 1-2 more for raid z setup.

Just got off the phone with Best Buy customer service. They price matched the $179 price and gave A credit on all my orders. Best buy will price match after purchase during for the return period.

My local BB only had two in stock. Grabbed those and placed a few orders online. I need to stay off this damn forum!!

Now if only the Canuckistani peso would go back to par this would be an amazing deal. Trump needs to push the oil prices back up again.

well im going to end up with 4 of the 8tb ones now and I'm banning myself from great deal section!!!!

Was reading over at Reddit that some peeps are getting drives that are made in China. The two I opened today were made in Thailand. There shouldn't be any quality difference but makes me wonder.

Great deal on the 8TB, just picked up a few, thanks everyone

 

[marcoi]

two i got from bb store are made in china, still havent popped open the case yet. has anyone reported non wd red in the 8tb units?

 

[K D]

Popped open 2 of them. They are WD80EFZX drives made in Thailand.

 

[marcoi]

Crystal disk info also reporting them as WD80EFZX drives. Once I'm done testing i pop one open to confirm.

If it's reporting them as EFZX they will be Reds. I'm just curious why we're seeing them come from two different locations. I just don't like it when drives are made in two locations on two different lines. But maybe I'll get lucky and the rest I have coming will be from the same location.
