Honestly, I have my doubts about getting a hard disk from the US, but this really does seem to be the best price around for this CMR NAS drive right now.

Yes, WD vs Seagate, whatever camp you're in, you make your choice! At least it's CMR.

Honestly, I don't know if I'll pull the trigger, but you might want to take advantage.

    Process is fine but takes a week or so. Returns can be more painful as needs to go to a courier drop off point usually with a few copies of the shipping note/invoice for customs taped on the front etc

    As well as CurlyBen's point, it's a law of diminishing returns and with SSDs coming along no one really wanted more.
    Seagate made a 15k SAS enterprise drive but those enterprise customers would have just paid more for SSDs with far greater than 100x the IOPs performance. Samsung and others made 3.5in SAS SSDs with insane performance to tackle this market.
    I used to work with a company that literally bought millions of HDDs per year, so I had meetings with the vendors. Everything was about economy of scale, they make everything with razer thin margins as far as I can tell.
    Added bonus, when you aggregate the performance over many drives, there are performance benefits as well as the reliability.

    From my experience, I purchased these from Amazon US as 3TB drives late last year. All arrived fine and are working beautifully. (edited)

    It's bad enough buying hard drives from Amazon Uk, let alone USA. Bet it rattles like a wind chime if you shake it

    £18.50/TB, very poor price. Under £14 is starting to be a deal. You regularly get drives going for under £13/TB in Germany, less often in brexit Britain but it does still happen.

    Price per TB increases with the total size of the drive. To me looks like a good price, just not worth for me jumping from 3TB to 4, next upgrade is going to be a bloodshed

    Don't know if it's just me but had loads of problems with wd red plus drives. My third is currently waiting to be sent back after failing 5 days in. Third as in 1st was doa and second died after 3 months, this one was itself a warranty replacement that took about 3 weeks to come. Got Seagate drives in now, no issues at all so far.

    I've noticed the IronWolf run cooler if that is interesting data

     8tb WD Blue HDDs are CMR too and I got one for not much more a few months back.
