1.) Do Western Digital 10 TB Red drives ever go on sale? Are there ever any coupons? I sometimes hear about Plex lifetime members being offered 20% discounts on WD drives. But whenever I browse for sales, they're never listed any lower than $420.00 CAD per drive; don't think I've ever seen them dip below that in the 5 months I've been checking.
2.) Right now Seagate Ironwolf 10 TB are on sale for $376.99 per drive. And I'm looking to buy 4 drives for my NAS. So I'd save $172 if I go with Seagate.
For some people $172 is a lot of money, for others It's not a big deal. Personally, I'd prefer to save $172 if I can. I'm really only using these drives for my NAS media collection. I was kinda leaning toward buying Western Digital Red drives, but....... now I'm not so sure anymore.
What's bizarre to me are the number of 1 egg reviews on newegg.ca for the WD 10 TB drives. 21% which is substantially more than the 2/3/4 egg reviews. But Amazon.ca tells a different story - overwhelmingly 5 star reviews. *shrugs*
What would you guys recommend?
