Price in title helps, but might want to include size (e.g. $160/10TB Drive). ...I miss the days of looking closer to $10-$12/ TB, vs $16+/TB now.

 

[JediAcolyte]

Thanks @abq
I missed that. I got it fixed now.
I do wish prices were better too!

Are these the helium drives? Am I better off waiting until next black Friday? or is this the going rate now?

Somebody needs to buy one so we know what's inside.

So far there have not been any reports of 10+TB drives as air filled so this is almost assuredly helium.

As far as price, for the past 3 or so years WD Easyshucks best prices have always been around Black Friday. If you can wait 9 months till next BF you'll most likely get better price. $16/TB is OK if you need more storage right now though.

Pushing 10% Star REviews.
A lot are <10TB but I do see some 10TB, and over.

What are concerns of longevity of these ?

The promo code isn't working for me.

Nobody knows how long Helium drives will last, Helium is still a relatively new thing on the market. My typical hard drive replacement cycle is every 6 years. My oldest 8TB Helium drive is slightly over 3 years, so about half way through their replacement cycle, no issues so far. Backblaze is not reporting any issues either. So far so good is all anybody can tell you.

Hope it helps.

When did the price ever hit $10/tb for a new Sata drive? I don't recall price being that low during that BF.

 

[omgwtfbyobbq]

$13+/tb is the lowest I can remember.

If you see this, please let me know. I'm interested in (most) 4tb plus drives at this price point!

Did I miss this deal? I can't find it anywhere and only see the "3 days of sweet deals" page

 

[JediAcolyte]

@Groovy Yep, a bit too late. But, these things come up fairly regularly so keep an eye on the great deals pages.
Good Luck!
