WD Red NAS Hard Drives - 3TB (7 total) Introduction

3.5" 3TB WD Red NAS drives available from 4 different manufacturing lots. These are model WD30EFRX and are CMR drives - the preferred drive for use in NAS devices and RAID arrays due to their improved reliability and speed when rebuilding arrays. You really want to avoid shingled (SMR) drives for these applications. SMART reports available for each drive indicating no errors, and VERY low power on hours (all have fewer than 70hrs, some fewer than 50!) as these were used as part of a backup solution, and spun down inside a home NAS, or taken offline. Compare similar on eBay at much higher prices and then having to add shipping. Price is $60 per drive, but happy to negotiate a discount for multiple disks.
