Logged into the WD Education Store today and found they now have a promo price of $276 for their 8TB Red drives and there were some in stock.

Hmmm so when these go for $225 like the older models did on black Friday (speculation) https://www.amazon.com/Book-Desktop-External-Drive-WDBBGB0080HBK-NESN/dp/B01LQQHLGC/ what is a better deal? $25 premium for Red?

What are the buying requirements?

 

[J--]

Seagate 8TB NAS drives are $250 on Newegg.

Toshiba 5TB desktop drives are $125.

Not worth it for a 7platter/5400rpm/128MB drive unless <$200, Seagate ST8000VN0002 (6platter/7200rpm/256MB) is a much better option.
