Dollar Per Terabyte Comparison for WD Desktop Drives (from Current eBay Sale)

Hi. Bit late in the sale to do this but, for anyone who's interested, I made a spreadsheet comparing the value of WD drives included in the eBay sale.

Drives sorted by model:

Drives sorted by value:

Link to eBay 20% off deal:

Haven't included 1TB drives as they're generally not very good value.

Thinking about getting some bulk storage to go alongside my 500GB and 2TB SSDs, so I made this spreadsheet. Maybe it'll help someone else.

Also keep in mind, the different colours are intended for different uses.

Green, budget (2 Year Warranty)
Black, speed (5 Year Warranty)
Blue, Something between green and black. (2 Year Warranty)
Red, reliability & 100% uptime (3 Year Warranty)
Purple, Surveillance systems? I guess optimised for constant large data writes. (3 Year Warranty)

ps. Thanks Baysew for cleaning up the post, was in a rush to get it posted before there was no point in doing so.

  • great work mate, im interested on the 4tb blue after this but missed out on the ebay deal. Its $193 most places but good reference anyway.

    dont need it now but if a 5tb or something comes up or from amazon at the $42/tb mark im ready to go.
