WD 8 TB red drive dropping
"WD Red 8TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb/s 128MB Cache
3.5 Inch - WD80EFZX" https://www.amazon.com/Red-8TB-Hard-...dp/B01BYLY4DM/ Looks like WD finally got enough drives to fill the channel as the price has dropped from $305 to $280 over the last couple of weeks. My target price is $250 at which point I plan to buy at least two, maybe three to jump our internal backup LAN drives from 4 TB to 8 TB. Lynn |

Did you create a price alert, here for example https://camelcamelcamel.com/Red-8TB-...context=search or are you just checking back now and then to see the current price? |

As you may have noticed, the price of that drive dipped below $250 earlier last week and shows no signs of bottoming out. Mid-week it was about $247 and today it's about $236. The price graph at camelx3 (link above) shows a steep and continuing drop. |

And now, the WED 8 TB USB external drive is back up to $250, just when I was going to buy another one. The price had been down to $189. https://www.amazon.com/Book-Desktop-...dp/B01LQQHLGC/ Thanks, Lynn |

That couldn't have been good for sales, except for folks who aren't paying attention to price. https://camelcamelcamel.com/Book-Des...context=search Currently, as I type this, Amazon says it's only available from third parties, so maybe the $189 price will come back when Amazon gets it back in stock. |

The drive inside probably was an SMR "Archive" drive. Perce That is the idea of a backup--to *be* an archive "just in case". |
