BF pricing on the 10TB with a 32GB USB drive live. The 8TB were very popular at $160, this is the 10TB at $180, so still a very good deal for those looking to shuck the drives.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

From what I've found googling, these suffer from the same 3.3V pin requirement as the 8tb white label drives. Molex to SATA or taping seems to be the fix action.
How old?This is actually an issue with old power supplies.. not hard drives.
Site probably botched something since these are early BF deals that run from 11/8-11/11. If you don't buy by the 11th you'll have another chance around BF.BTW: I just noticed something weird. I searched on Bestbuy.com and it was $289.99 but if I click through your link it's the price you said - $179.99!
Generally in the 8-10 year range, however some of the 5-8 year psu were backwards compatible and suffer the same issue most backpanes on qnap, synology and the like work fine.How old?

You can find more info about the issue including a list of devices/PSU folks have tested on the 8TB Compendium Page
The spec changed in 2016 and as far as I know, PSUs haven't generally updated their cables. (The few that are listed as working on that page are probably mistakes). Backplanes are immune because they don't supply 3.3v, unlike ATX PSUs.
The cleanest fix is to remove the 3.3v pin from the modular plug.
There’s a version without the USB that is $289.99, the $279.99 is a Early BF Edition.BTW: I just noticed something weird. I searched on Bestbuy.com and it was $289.99 but if I click through your link it's the price you said - $179.99!
Thanks for that did they post any of the specs, namely the TLER setting?This is from one, a member on another forum just shucked one of his

I'm really hoping they do a BF deal of $140 again for the 8TB, the $180 for the 10TB is really tempting though, I need more iops rather than more space though.
Honestly at this price it's kind of worth it even if you just use them as an external that never really leaves the computer.
Wow, that's lame, looks like the brand new Seasonic Focus that I just got won't even work with these. =\
These will be excellent for that purpose. They should last a long time. I have a lot of the 8tb (8x8tb in one case) versions just for that purpose. Now that I know these are EMAZ drives I will go get a couple because the price is too good to pass up.Will these be fine for my plex server. Not a lot of writing. Mostly reading since once I copy something I tend to leave it
How much?Hmm.. What do you with the 16x new 8TB Reds I have.

no, the only specs shown was what you see on the Synology screen as he just put them in his 12 bay Synology unit.
Another member cleaned out 2 of his local Best Buys, wish I had money to drop for that amount of drives.
I hope this bastard lives nowhere near me.
That being said, it's only 2520$ worth of drives. I say "only" because people are dropping 2600$ or more on a pair of GPUs that probably won't even last them 2-5 years, while most HDDs will last you several.
One would think that BackBlaze is buying these to shuck...
