It's not a great deal but for $30 more than the most recent Black Friday price (for a Western digital) is worth a thumbs up so those who need storage now can snag it. (Deal ends tomorrow or when stock runs out).

Thanks OP, grabbed one. It's not a crazy good price but i paid 330 from amazon a month ago so this is as low as we've seen in awhile.

$14/tb for a new drive is decent. Prices have high on these for a while.

i have several in synology nas that have been working for about 2 years. as for the noise, they are not the quietest, but you get used to the noise and know they are working

Yeah, I'd also recommend to buy now if you think you'll need it in the next few months as we don't know the effect the tariffs will have on things.

Tariffs are live, prices all been adjusted for already so there is no more uncertainty unless tariffs increase again on China again.

The 4 I have from nov (all still external) that are seeing consistent use have had absolutely 0 issues with noise. Additionally I've not had any reliability issues from WD externals in almost two decades and that's all I buy since an issue with a handful of Seagate drives in ~2006 - but I also tend to replace drives with larger drives when the size isn't worth keeping - at this point my smallest capacity externals are 14TB as I've replaced all the 8 and 10s. (I have in use a total of 14 external drives on my 2 desktop systems as I write this, trying to wait until WD 24TB+ are a decent price to start replacing the 8 14TBs I have from awhile back.)

I thought Seagate drive is still unreliable
