a whole topic on slickdeals hasn't been wrong, and all 12 I bought so far, plus 4 for a coworker, have been. If you aren't sure, or worried, the USB adapter inside the case actually passes through the drive id, so when you plug the whole USB drive into your machine, it comes back as "WD80EFZX....." which if you google, is a Red, so you can be sure before you shuck...which if done right, is reversible.Are they reds for sure?
Perfect thank you so much, I also did find a subreddit somewhere about how to look it up and Linux but this seems way easier thank you for your time.
No worries. FWIW too, this is a decent price. I bought all mine on Cyber Monday for 149.99/ea, I'm waiting a little longer to buy the last 12 i need to fill my chassis so as to get drives from different lots, but at this near-BF/Cyber Monday price, might just pick 6 more up.
Enjoy!
4k HDR x265 Linux ISOs can add up really fast@ 40-60GB/ISO.I went with 6TB from another sale on here and found a plethora of 6TB drives that I had for another project. Honestly I have no more room for more drives and still have 25TB of space to fill and not entirely how many more Linux Isos I can download to fill it.

Got a 65" LG OLED B7A for 1600$ on BF...couldn't resist at that price. Now I'm...paying the price.Thank you Best Buy for not having my 4K TV in stock so I can't go down this path of suffering
I got 5 reds, 2 whites and 1 DOA. The "whites" are reds, seems some are 128mb cache and some are 256, I got a white with one of each. All the reds are 256mb cache.
Check the reddit link I posted earlier...
