There’s currently a sale on the Western Digital website. I was thinking of getting the Red Pros since they’re high capacity and relatively quiet. In a previous post I made on the datahoarders community, I was looking for an HDD that was basically silent since the NAS will be next to my desk where I WFH.
Currently, two 18 TB drives are going for $620 or about $17.22 per TB. Not the best deal but definitely better than their normal price. I know a lot of people like buying used drives but the ones for sale are usually loud enterprise edition drives which won’t work for me. Should I buy the drives now or wait until BF for a possibly better sale?
Black Friday is a decent deal if you’re buying a larger volume of drives. If you’re only planning on buying a few, you don’t have to wait for to. That being said, a ln unimpressive sale is better than no sale.
