WD101EFBX - 10 TB @ $209.99 WD Red Plus NAS Hard Drive 3.5"

Saw these drop on NewEgg down to $209, then NewEgg doing it's Newegg crap, jacked it back up. Then saw they dropped on WD's own website.

These are also CMR, not SMR.

Still not back down to the $0.15/GB they once were, but close.

On a side note, it looks like prices are starting to fall from the Chia craze - especially on the used market. I just picked up 5x 10TB SAS for $170ea for a local school. Lots of used drives starting to dump on homelansales.

Nice! Yeah, I have seen those sweet, used 8TB HGST SAS drives drop back down to ~ $85 as well.

Where? that's a good price.

I'm seeing 16TB enterprise drives at pretty normal prices too. They're not as cheap as the cheapest they can get, but they're in the same league per TB as the OP's find.

Alternatively, $105 but taking offers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284481405522

Also buybest recently lowered to $110. Personally have had good experiences with them, but note the "92% health" line in the description that some folks here have been calling out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274337662770
