Decent price at $25.55/TB, but was slightly cheaper last month. Should be a white labeled CMR drive inside.
May require the PIN 3 mod if your PSU isn't SATA 3.3 compliant.
Hopefully it's still available in the morning :D
CamelCamelCamel.
Waiting for $21 per TB. That was the last time I got my 14TBs.
My ~6 year old 8TB WD Red in my NAS is failing so I have to pull the trigger sooner rather than later!
I have multiple failed 3TB's. Feel for me.
Can you shuck these?
yup. Can't shuck WD 2.5" portable drives but can shuck seagate.
I'd avoid any 3.5" drives less than 10TB since they're pretty much all SMR which have shorter lives.

Additionally their write speeds are atrocious and they're unsuitable for any form of RAID setup.
Avoid Amazon UK, monkey working there, higher chance of having the wrong item sent to you.
Yeah, there was once when they dropped the price 2 hours after I ordered. I contacted them about 6 hours after that to get the new lower price, but they couldn't credit the difference. So they just refunded me the whole amount and asked me to buy the drive again at the lower price. All good, and then I ended up with 2 drives being delivered. Sometimes having monkeys is not too bad.
Not like Amazon US any better, my one never arrived from the last deal.
No idea how kml22 has come to that conclusion. Amazon has huge number of employees. Not sure how you would determine % of good employees and if AU retail and warehouse staff are any better! I personally have any issues with Amazon US, UK or AU.
Was around $434
Over a year ago.
Yes March 2021. It's been a year already ?! I still have it in the box.
$443 was the previous price drop.
If everyone holds off buying one at this price they may just drop the price even further if they can see no one's buying them
Wot 😂😂😂
That's true, everyone HODL.
Getting there slowly! but I paid $31 per TB about 4.5 years ago (!!!) sadly.
Be sure to check
Obviously these are US deals but sometimes you can get them - obviously convert to Aus, add tax and shipping - but it can work out better at times.
I'm waiting for 16+ TB for $280 AUD or less.
ETA 12+ months :(
Might have to wait longer. I haven’t seen the 14TBs go below $300 for 2 years now.
The 14 finally hit $199 US again within the last 2 months. Which means prob $330 to our door, give or take.
We'll see something soon, Chia is dead now.
Chia is dead now.
Not quite, but pretty close. Still profitable with a ~5 year window, but that will soon be 6 years… then 7… etc.
Aud is lower and unlikely to bounce if you are waiting for lower price per tb might not have too much luck
Why AUD unlikely to bounce ?
Polymer notes. Despite the theoretical elasticity of plastic, no matter how hard you throw them at a hard surface, they won’t come back
Would this be OK in a Synology NAS or is there an issue with the pin mod?
My 14TB works in Synology NAS, no mod
Thanks! Not the absolute best price, but close enough for dense storage. Pulled the trigger on 2.
My current 12 drive media array (inc 3x 14TB and 8x 10TB) is almost full and this should help make space for more 4K remux Linux ISOs.
$15 away from being the best price ever according to camel³. Good enough for me. Purchased.
