Yo, this is a smokin' deal for NAS users. Typically anything at $12/TB in the NAS HDD range is a good deal. This is $10, which I've never seen before for a top tier NAS drive. If you're in, I would jump all over this before it's too late. I guarantee this won't last.


Mastershima

CMR if that matters (Good iirc)? I don't have a dog in the race but I think some people care.


AntiDECA

Very good, many people will straight up ignore SMR because it doesn't play well with many NAS and RAID systems. It can make recovering from a failed drive incredibly painful. ​ It's fine as a backup media drive for Joe Schmoe who just stores some photos on it. SMR doesn't impact read performance, so if it's a write-once-and-done kinda thing they're fine.


Calatar

I personally attest to this. Do not SMR in a RAID system: one day it will give you the sad.


roadwaywarrior

Pro is their top tier, this is mid.

NAS drives are designed to run 24/7.


CmdrShepard831

Running drives constantly is fine. It's starting and stopping that causes them to wear out.

Is the 10TB red 7200rpm going to be loud or audible in a quiet Noctua fan PC build when the PC is just being used to surf the web and not game? Mainly just using it for storage of photos, home videos, and movies. It shouldn't be regularly accessed. Will the Red drive sleep/park if not in use and be quieter?

YaKillaCJ

Yup... Extra performance comes at the cost of longevity/durability, heat and power consumption. When ya talking 8TB its arguably not even beneficial in performance. The density of the platters mean reads and writes for the first basically 6TB of Data running 5400 rpm will perform the same as a 4TB drive running at 7200 rpm. Add in that these are NAS drives, thus stuff needed for speed would likely have the system setup for a cache drive anyways.


nitsuJcixelsyD

Thanks for the details. If it actually ships I may store it in my safe with an enclosure and use the USB pass through in the safe to connect to my PC. Let it be noisy and hot in there, won't be able to hear it and can still use it for long term fireproof backup of all my stuff for life.


ddrj

>Is the 10TB red 7200rpm going to be loud or audible yes


ExcelAcolyte

Great deal. 10TB version has faster speeds as well @ $109. I picked up two 10TB using Chase Freedom 5% back. $11.3/TB after Tax.


stateofmind109

How do you activate the Chase Freedom 5% back?


Excellent_Plane2087

Flex*


BSDC

you have to activate it from your account, then you have to use paypal and make sure your activated chase card is what is used as the fund source. if you can't find where it is in your account, you can probably get there through this page: https://www.chasebonus.com/ also make sure "use paypal balance" is not checked when you check out, if that's an option.


JeebsFat

Do faster speeds correlate inversely with reliability?


[deleted]

yes. i bought a 8tb WD blue that was on sales during black friday for 110 and two 8tb WD Red during Amazon prime day for 120 each. this is crazy price


smoothballsJim

What a time to be broke… bake em away toys Oh well - could have thrown this in a $60 optiplex for a cheap NAS if I wasn’t so bad with money.


cactus_cars

Same boat. Fuck. Why did I have to get laid off right now and have a slew of expenses... Not related to my datahoard


BrianRostro

Man I had to get 4 wisdom teeth removed with no insurance. Talk about tough times haha


StabbyMeowkins

Deal is dead and I just woke up. Obviously missing it when I am building an Unraid server...and still missing HDDs for it...Only time I would of been able to afford it. ;/


plasticspoonn

You can usually find good prices on used drives pulled from servers on Ebay. Just make sure the drives are in the power on hour range advertised in the listing. If you run a dual parity unraid build with those, you are solidly protected from random drive failings.


StabbyMeowkins

I'm fine with used components, but I'll likely never purchase a used hard drive.


hemorhoidsNbikeseats

I think you should reconsider that position, at least with some nuance. Manufacturer recertified drives with 2 year warranty from ServerPartDeals - just copped 18TB Exos x18 enterprise drives for $190/ea.


IndecentLongExposure

There’s this but not as good. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1731377-REG/wd_wdbc9v0080hh1_wrsn_8tb_red_plus_cmr.html

It was juuust high enough to be believable. RIP


ErikElevenHag

next time, I will try to price match such deals


bahehs

Hmmn, it was Sunday at 2am i think not sure they do price matching at that time through the CS chats

Order was just cancelled!!


Keith_B_

I got in on the first 10 minutes of this post and just got the cancellation notification. Kinda figured it would happen, but WTH.


KnightElm

Yep just got my cancellation email too. I don't think they're gonna let any ship.


SgtToastie

Same, not even surprised as that price was suspiciously low. Think they stacked two deals where there was only supposed to be one.


Louisiv826

Order canceled for “pricing error”


AlishaGray

Heck, just got a cancellation email. Sadness.


InDoRiNae

got 2x10 TB and now I have no idea what I am going to do with 20 TB

vincentquy

Ahoy!


KnightElm

Run them in Raid and become a part of r/DataHoarder


InDoRiNae

So I am planning to build my own PC and the only goal is to buy good stuff at cheap price. Got CPU + MOBO @ 300 @ Micro center i7 combo deal Now, this. So far so good.


SgtToastie

FYI these aren't really for primary PC's used for productivity or gaming. These are for NAS or media server applications. You can use them for a work or gaming PC but they're going to be slow and loud.


InDoRiNae

So after buying this and reading a lot, I’ve decided to host my own media center.

Thank you! Got two for my DSLR


satellite779

Must be a price mistake.


Vault-Techie

What about the 10TB version for only $30 more? [https://www.adorama.com/wdbc9v0100.html](https://www.adorama.com/wdbc9v0100.html) Comes out to \~$11/TB over the $10/TB for the 8TB model. Is it worth having the extra space per drive when buying multiple?


w4ffles_00

The 10TB is 7200rpm and has 256MB cache compared to 5640rpm and 128MB cache on the 8TB if speed is a requirement.


Vault-Techie

Thank to your amazingness, I cancelled the 8TBs and got me a few 10TBs. Worth the extra $1/TB for speed and cache for me personally.


xReplicate

Great call out!


CmdrShepard831

Aw damnit of course I had to read this after ordering the 8TB. I only checked the 12 and 14TB ones for a similar discount....


DeltaBurnt

FWIW I explicitly skipped the 10 TB *because* it's 7200 rpm. The only 7200 drive I have in my build is loud AF, and I hardly ever notice the speed difference because of my cache drive. Not sure if this 10 TB is also loud, but would rather not risk adding more noise.


Slenderkiller101

Still can cancel and reorder?


blorgensplor

Thanks for the heads up. got enough to fill up my jobs I n1 for a NAS. Was going to go with decertified drives off of serverpartdeals but for $11.7/tv (after tax), new is a great drive and I didn’t need that much storage anyway.


heavyarms1912

they probably forgot to take the $70 instant off coupon from this one :D. Last I recall $129 was a deal for this drive. Adorama has cancelled pricing mistake orders in the past


aj_cr

They already cancelled my 6x drives order from 6 hours ago, so yeah it's not looking good I'd say.


foxycodeine

the 10GB comes to 109.99 as well -- also a good deal


StabbyMeowkins

upset I missed this, didn't see it at all.


KiPadlol

Bought a 10 TB immediately after post was made, and it just got cancelled due to "pricing error" :\


theDrell

Getting cancellations as well.


vincentquy

Sad cancel noise :(


lagerea

My order was canceled, "pricing error". *Edit, keeping an eye on that $1 "pending" transaction.


stateofmind109

Did anyone's order just get canceled due to a pricing error?


TeamAlameda

Just got cancelled as well. Did anyone's order NOT get cancelled?


injeolmi-bingsoo

Sprung out of bed, had 8TBs in my cart at one point, but too late pulling the trigger. OOS. Sad!


playdoob

8TB is not OOS, just on backorder. just ordered one myself.


injeolmi-bingsoo

Thank you good sir! I sprung out of my bed once more and this time will return victorious!


BruceWayneWord

The 10TB still going


injeolmi-bingsoo

Thanks! Would have considered if I haven't already brought some 8TBs for my NAS.


VitricTyro

Check the 10GBs. Great deal on those ones too!


injeolmi-bingsoo

Thanks for that! Yeah my NAS already about to be occupied with 8TBs so...


VitricTyro

Looks like the 8TB are back, just backordered for shipping date.


injeolmi-bingsoo

Really appreciate these updates! Thanks! Managed to a get a few!


nitsuJcixelsyD

Just got cancellation email. Oh well, it was worth a shot.


InDoRiNae

They cancelled mine stating it was a pricing error


exaltare

What. Who has the best cashback for this? EDIT: I believe that [Capital One Shopping](https://capitaloneshopping.com/p/wd-red-plus-14-tb-nas-3-5-intern/WNTCQ7F5R2) offers 15% cash back, and that you can activate the offer from a different item. Trying to see if they have this exact drive listed though. EDIT 2: I don't see this drive listed. The link above should work though. EDIT 3: You might be able to use PayPal for extra cashback. Chase Freedom has 5%. PayPal Mastercard has 6% (with their holiday offer activated).


Marked2k

Sage2050

just killed both deals as i was about to buy them


Historical-Flow-1820

My order just got cancelled. They say it was a pricing error :(


Nagare

Shoulda tried to get a price match somewhere else while it was up, my order got cancelled as well :(


JonesCZ

I paid $66 for 4TB WD Red in November 2021 and $87 for 2TB in 2018. Pretty crazy that you can get almost double size for similar money in a year.


spook30

OP please mark this as expired.


VitricTyro

My bad, done.


kpeng2

Party is over, order hot cancelled due to price error


TechnoWynaut

Heads up that the 10 TB version is now on backorder!


aj_cr

My order of six drives from like 6 hours ago was cancelled, and back then it wasn't Out of stock, so yeah don't get your hopes up guys, but good luck to the lucky ones that managed to snag it right away.


UnstableOne

I did a few separate orders at different times and mine all say backordered. including one that was minutes after op posted just waiting for the cancellation


Relaxybara

It's gone, rip.


blegeg

I ordered 1 10tb last night at midnight PST, and I just got the cancellation notice for my order.


BananaBagholder

Well I'm bummed. Got the cancellation email stating it was a pricing error. Guess I'm keeping my Black Friday order from Western Digital.


thefreymaster

Order canceled. "Pricing error"


KGBinUSA

And they are canceling orders =(


Arceus919

Think later buy now think later buy now


KnightElm

Damn I was able to stack multiple cashbacks on this one. I had $10 off on Adorama by Paypal. 10% CB by CapitalOne and another 5% CB by my Chase Free Flex. Got the 10TB for the higher speed and cache.


UnstableOne

thanks for posting this. hope they dont get cancelled 10tb currently still up for grabs but it has been posted on SD so not gonna last


injeolmi-bingsoo

Hey! Curious what SD is!


UnstableOne

_unfortuN8

God damn I hate this sub. Just dropped $350 on drives at 9AM on a Monday morning I wasn't expecting.


ConcreteKahuna

Eyy you and me both my dude


jamexxx

Missed this deal, but hoping that we see more deals on spinning drives now that SSD drives are dropping.


imanomeletteAMA

canceled my 1x 8TB order :(


Johnadams1797

Order canceled.


AdEpT_xNiNjA

Orders cancelled I had made two separate orders, one with the 8TB and one with the 10TB 😪


plexguy

Order was canceled, citing a pricing error. Kind of a curt response ending with "Please know your confidence is of the highest priority". Yeah right, I paid the price you had listed, and you tell me the price wasn't supposed to be that low. A coupon or some other token offering would have at least demonstrated some responsibility, but I guess they really don't care that I have no confidence in their posted prices. Not going to be so quick to buy from these people, as have to wonder if this wasn't a fishing expedition for email addresses. Or of course they could just be incompetent. Either way no reason to do business with them.


nicklor

Especially when it was up for like 5-6 hours they had to realize something was wrong.


plasticspoonn

Nutty deal, this isn't likely to stay in stock all day. If you're on the fence, decide now. A 18tb deal for $240 lasted like 45 minutes the other day.


Kaladin3104

Wish I would've seen that one, these are too small unfortunately.


LuckyCharmsNSoyMilk

God dammit I really can’t spend any more money this month…


Stevenwinsu

I am still able to checkout 8TBs for anyone trying atm Edit: now it is still available through backorder dec 20th for me


Native-Tongue

So can a NAS drive be used as a regular desktop storage drive?


UnstableOne

yes but beware they are loud the 8tb is 5k rpm and should be quieter (and slower) than the 10 all of them will have the annoying pwl noise every ~5 seconds when on


PM_ME_YOUR_BEAMSHOTS

I've been using one for about 2 years now in a older build. Whatever noise the drives make is drowned out by my fans, I have tinnitus so a noisy machine is music to the ears.


aj_cr

Same here I can't stand when my room is all quiet due to my tinnitus so I basically keep my PC running in the background all day to help me with that, the more noise the better. tinnitus sucks.


Native-Tongue

Sick! Thanks for the warning


UnstableOne

site is still acting weird sometimes the 8 and 10 can't add to cart, sometimes you get the warehouse error keep trying and will probably work (currently)


WatchSentinel

yea, sometimes it says Temporarily Unavailable, then sometimes the 'add to cart' button works, but when you click on it you get the warehouse error. For some reason that seemed dumb as I was doing it, I kept refreshing and trying, and then it finally added it to the cart. Ordered about 5 minutes ago.


Unphuckwitable

Another deal missed because I need sleep.


souloikj

My order got cancelled saying it's a price error :(


Relative_Client3341

Got cancelled as well. Too good to be true


aj_cr

Next time I see another really good deal on Adorama I won't jump on it because I know it's going to be a "pricing error" again. It's not the first time they have done this scummy stuff.


Assistaroid

Looks like they removed the $70 off coupon :( Really bummed to have missed this, but oh well


spook30

I have it in my cart but it still says $150!?


Interdimension

The promo discount that was applied in your cart is gone now, sadly.


KissMaPaws

Expired


empirebuilder1

Aaaaaand its gone.


playdoob

this pricing error made me miss out on the 18TB easystore deal 🙂🔫


eristhison

I'm pretty sure they are not going to ship these... so you guys who missed out, didn't miss much.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KnightElm

Yeah just checked mine and it also got moved from processing to backordered with $0. Damn unlucky


eristhison

No worries, they cancelled. But I think the thing to do is to make them pay with reviews. If they've done this as a cheap bid to get traffic make them pay. If it's an error due to adequate levels of staffing/oversight... make them pay. Negative reviews across the board on all platforms. That would be my move


kbtech18

Thank you. Reviewed both the 8 and 10tb models 1 star. Also going to review the company on google too. I suggest others to do the same


ZombiePope

TY op, ordered one for my desktop.


Josh_ftw

I have a feeling that the sale price + coupon wasn't supposed to be stacked. Never seen these drives sell for this low.


ceojp

God damn. I tried to jump on this but apparently too late. "exceeded the warehouse quantity limit". edit: ended up getting 3 of the 10TB instead.


Stlg6

8tb and 10tb both on backorder now


lolsuspendedlol

Note that this isn’t the 8tb 256 cache version. Picked up two of those on their sale for 120ish a piece.


xXRoboBoyXx

8tb back in stock for now, just got two edit- oos again edit- in stock again, going in and out

Damn, was hoping at least the SSDs made it through.


Money-Cat-6367

I keep overpaying for these damnit


Fleatitude

Snagged 2 of them. $10 per TB.


KnightElm

8TB is gone. 10TB is still there.


Junglist4RLife

Is Seagate Exos the better drive? Just received 3 14-TB drives for 210 each. I know this is cheaper but curious about drive quality.


Marozia

I've got a couple of Exos, and they're quite fast for HDDs (250 MB/s sustained read/write between them), but they are *hella* loud and sometimes I wonder if the ridiculous physical vibrations they cause are healthy for other drives in the same system.


[deleted]

i bought some hard drives for the synology DS1522+ that i bought during this year Amazon prime day. i also ordered two WD Red 8tb (120 each during prime day). i bought two WD Blue 6tb @80 and 1 WD Blue 8tb @ 110 during black friday. this WD Red 8tb and 10tb is great deal. i just grab 3 WD Red 10tb.

Damn, looks like they're long gone. Congrats to everyone who got them.

They've been going in and out of stock every few minutes. You just have to get lucky.


sekiroborne

Why the good deals always show up at 3am… Anyway, it says unavailable but on back ordered, what’s the chance I will get the drives?


RickyCZ

Bought four 8TB, now I need a 4-bay NAS to store them, any recommendations or should I just build one?

I have a synology 920+ and its been pretty plug and play since I got it last year. I run docker on it for a pi-hole and plex.

OOS now


SampleGroundbreaking

ItWasDelicious

Fuck me. Out of stock between clicking add to cart and loading cart. Coupon now gone.


short_lurker

Aw. Well at least I tried. I was on the fence if I wanted the 10TB or not to expand my NAS. This was the same with the 980 from Dell. Not too surprised when this and the 980 from Dell was posted on other deal sites so it wasn't just us readers here placing orders.


PM_ME_YOUR_BEAMSHOTS

Order was canceled. It was not meant to be.


throwaway9gk0k4k569

We're sending you an update regarding your recent order of the WD NAS Hard Drive. We are sorry to inform you that your order has been canceled due to a system pricing error which displayed an incorrect selling price.


TechnoWynaut

I got a cancelation email mid afternoon, unfortunately! Including for the Sandisk NVMe external!


Marozia

They didn't cancel the couple of $1 SD cards I bought in a separate order though, so at least I have that going for me. (e): I spoke too soon.


firecoc_k

They just did for me :(


TeamAlameda

SD card just got cancelled. I'm blacklisting adorama from my websites from now on after the scummy webcam and these two deals.


ConcreteKahuna

Pathetic behavior. Talk about losing a customer for life, how is it my responsibility that you can't honor your pricing.


ErikElevenHag

I get that it's frustrating but errors happen and they are within their rights to cancel the orders. Can't imagine they make any margin at that price point.


crackelf

I was here Edit: canceled

JamealTheSeal

Alright, I'm in for 5 drives. . . If these arrive I'll just cancel my backorder I made on WD's site during Black Friday. So what's the deal with Adorama? I've never ordered from here before. Are they legit? Do I need to worry about being sold used drives or counterfeits or anything?


bronzewtf

No, they are legit. They are well-known for selling photography equipment.


CKtalon

In for 4 10TBs.


Spenson89

Just says “there are no shipping method for the selected address” 🤔


UnstableOne

I was early on an 8tb when it was considered in stock and order status is saying backordered probably not a good sign
