    Before you buy this Nas drive to put in your Nas, watch this.

    TL:Dr WD are up to their old tricks again that looks like it artificially restricts Nas usage.

    Seriously... I have four of the old school reds in raid. This pretty much pushes me back to Seagate.

    Is the CMR better than SMR for NAS purposes? (edited)

    CMR is virtually essential for NAS. There is an increased risk of data loss when using SMR. SMR should never have been allowed to happen.

    i dont think this a good ideea. Buying a drive even from amazon uk is risky , packing is usual flimsy and inadequate , imagine having a drive delivered from the other side of the word in similar packing. I would stay away from this and pay 10 pounds or so more and be on safe side.

    Nice price. I assume there are currency fees to pay on your card ordering from Amazon US?

    I don't get how these are still so costly per TB. Like, kinda bizarrely, I could get two (DRAMless) 2TB NVMe SSD's for twice the price yet many multiples the transfer and access speeds.

    I get that HDD are more reliable long-term, but with prices dropping as they are, is it realistic we'll want to stay using the same tech in five years? So, long-term might be longer than really required.

    Duplication, for rebuilding RAID arrays or transferring to replacement tech can take a long time, read maybe more than a day, with large quantities, at sub-500MBps. Doesn't that warrant a consideration?

    So, good folks, what am I missing? (edited)

    I should be clearer. I've got a few multi terabyte HDD, and I was going to use some for an old D-Link NAS. Kinda overdue as I've just been using large externals, without adequate redundancy. Anything critical is cloud synced, but that leaves a whole lot I'm supposedly prepared to lose if I'm unlucky. None of them make a good matching pair, so I looked for a drive to make a pair, and even normal, non-NAS, refurbs are selling for prices similar to this. Why haven't HDD's continued their previous perennial drop in per Gig pricing, or is this yet another scenario were COVID has led to (seeming) prolonged price gouging?
