Appears to be lower than local stock @ $159 each https://www.computeralliance.com.au/4tb-wd-3.5-sata-6gb/s-re…

Suspect price will continue to come down on red drives?

  These are the WD40EFAX model and are SMR drives. I would not use these for RAID. The original non shingled ones are WD40EFRX.

  WD needs to take this crap off the market and call it something else and not a nas drive.

  I wish i hadn't bought 6TB SMR disks (WD60EFAX-68SHWN0) for my QNAP when changing drives, badly regret it but don't wanna spend again to replace them :( :(
  I run them as RAID 1 mirroring , performance is not great , trust me :((

    If you bought them from an Australian retailer, return them as not fit for purpose

  Just had one of my 4 6TB WD Red FRX drives fail after 2 years and had to RMA it to Malaysia. Looking online, they aren't the most reliable.
