This is slightly cheaper than buying from Umart and there's free express delivery for users with eBay Plus (or Standard for anyone without)

WD Blue™ internal hard drives deliver reliability for office and web applications. They are ideal for use as primary drives in desktop PCs and for office applications. With a range of capacities and cache sizes, there’s a WD Blue internal hard drive that’s just right for you.

Specs:

Cache size: 128MB
Rotational speed: 5640 RPM
Manufacturer Warranty: 2 Year
Interface: SATA

WD Blue is more suitable for use in a desktop computer than NAS applications. Better option than Seagate Barracuda as those drives are using Shingled Magnetic Recording.

Price per Terabyte: $23.27

    Is this the cheapest 8tb HD?

      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185157152382?

      $165.66 if you don't mind SMR.

        FYI For about 8.5 cents more you can buy from more reputable sellers than HT ;)

          Oh please, HT didn't fulfil a clear price error that many people knew was a price error and now they get all the hate

            @JoeBogan: I don't know which one you're referring to specifically, but I had my own issues with them in the past. In any case, their feedback is 97.2% while other sellers are at almost 100%.

            • JoeBogan on 20/03/2022 - 15:40
              -1

              @RiseAndRuin: That negative rating was because of the coupon code debacle on eBay, I've bought about 6 different things from them in the last year and I've had no issues.

              • RiseAndRuin on 20/03/2022 - 15:42

                @JoeBogan: Buyers are free to make their own choice, I'm just stating the facts and referring to my own experience.

                • JoeBogan on 20/03/2022 - 15:45

                  @RiseAndRuin: That's a bit of a straw man argument, I never said buyers aren't free to make their own choice. I just weighed in to give people a more balanced viewpoint on the issue.

            @JoeBogan: Hmm so a $15 coupon with no min spend that could be used repeatedly by checking out as a guest from a private window wasn't fulfilled. That one was pretty obvious and people still got upset even after redeeming their free premium antivirus codes because their 20 other freebies were cancelled the next day.

            • BlinkyBill on 20/03/2022 - 19:38

              @jaffar: At some point, you have to just be taking the piss. HT is well within their rights to pull the pin on what is clearly and error. Ive used HT for Maybe 20 years and they have always been very easy to deal with.

  • Hurg on 20/03/2022 - 15:32

    Why do all these companies sell on ebay? Aren't the fees ridiculous on there?

    • Agret on 20/03/2022 - 15:35
      +1

      Their prices on eBay are usually higher than their direct website prices as a result of the fees but when you get these big discount codes that are covered by ebay you get some good deals sometimes.

    • Bob81 on 20/03/2022 - 15:45
      +1

      The fees would be tax deductible for a business.

    • Indomietable on 20/03/2022 - 15:51

      The same reason companies sell on shopping malls. Selling on eBay is better for visibility.

  • photonbuddy on 20/03/2022 - 15:59

    For those without Afterpay, this can be had for $206 from Amazon US via Amazon AU.

    • scrimshaw on 20/03/2022 - 16:07

      It's $197 including the shipping from Umart (local stock). See

      • photonbuddy on 20/03/2022 - 16:38

        True, but some prefer Amazon.

        Drives seem to be falling in price now, as well. Hoping they don't shoot up soon.

      • cryptowiz on 20/03/2022 - 17:31

        I bought a couple of them last week from Umart when they had $30 off if you used Klarna to checkout. Including delivery, they worked out at $179 each.

    • ozwog05 on 20/03/2022 - 16:53

      Still $189 @ PLE (pending stock)

  • spasto on 20/03/2022 - 16:08

    I thought only WD Red Plus HDDs were CMR. Wouldn’t have spent the extra $80 if I had known!!!

    • scrimshaw on 20/03/2022 - 16:10

      Please be aware not all WD Blue's are CMR. There exists SMR WD Blue's as well.

      Cross-check the product brief and model name before buying.

      • spasto on 20/03/2022 - 16:11

        Thanks for the warning. Makes me feel a little better.

      • photonbuddy on 20/03/2022 - 16:37

        It appears as though the 8tb is the only CMR blue drive, though.

      • cloudzhou on 20/03/2022 - 16:41

        Can you confirm if this one is CMR?

        • scrimshaw on 20/03/2022 - 16:50
          +4

          How to confirm

          Visit the WD web page, select Disk Speed and Capacity

          https://www.westerndigital.com/en-au/products/internal-drive…

          Scroll down a bit or press CTRL+F to find "Recording Technology".

          You will see a list of SKU's that use CMR or SMR. Scroll down further and you can expand the "Full Specifications" tab to see even more data.

  • TeddyBear on 20/03/2022 - 17:06

    Good price for an 8TB CMR drive.

    5640 RPM

    That's a fairly arbitrary rotation speed; maybe typical of WD blues?

    • scrimshaw on 20/03/2022 - 17:10

      Currently this 8TB drive is the only Blue drive with this odd rotation speed.

      • TeddyBear on 20/03/2022 - 17:11
        +1

        Likely it's mechanically identical to another 7200rpm sku and they've intentionally capped the max RPM.

  • pixxelpusher on 20/03/2022 - 17:15

    WD80EAZZ = CMR

  • tablespoon on 20/03/2022 - 17:25

    5640 rpm lol

    • fezzo on 20/03/2022 - 18:26
      +4

      If you're getting an 8TB hard drive, the use case is more likely for archiving or storage. RPM/Speed is far less relevant in this case.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/03/2022 - 20:25
        +1

        More so it will be abt platters vs speed. I'd say more platters which offset speed.

  • rxjb on 20/03/2022 - 17:44

    Good for Nas duties? Only looking at running daily from noon to midnight.

  • Wally Simmonds on 20/03/2022 - 20:07

    All gone =/
