This hot deal from Best Buy<\/a> is back and better than ever. They have the WD easystore 8TB External USB 3.0<\/a> for only $139.99<\/a>. This is a fantastic price for a 8 TB harddrive.<\/p>\n

This deal is especially popular because WD appears to be using 8 TB Western Digital “Red” hard drives inside these external drive enclosures. Instructions are available<\/a> on how to extract the drive from the enclosure. This is a fantastic deal as the Western Digital “Red” hard drives (suitable for NAS) typically go for about $274<\/a>, making this about a $135 savings over buying the drive itself.<\/p>\n

Thanks Mike for letting us know!<\/i><\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/b> There is a great guide on reddit<\/a> for identifying exactly what type of drive is in these and the various implications of it. Apparently, while the vast majority of drives are WD Red, recently you may also get a ‘white-label’ drive with what appears to be the same performance characteristics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
