I recently bought 4x WD HGST WUH721414ALE6L4 512e 14TB. The 4Kn's were the same price but on lengthy backorder/dropship from WD, so that wasn't going to work. Also, I absolutely refuse to buy the WD Gold (WD141KRYZ) that is effectively the same product but at a much higher price ($480 vs. $346). Marketing people can take a long walk from a short pier.
- convery 6y agoI was actually looking at WD Gold for the next workstation. Do you have any good resource / introduction-page about their HDDs price/performance/misc (e.g. which drives are just rebranded). Very hard to compare specs for us uninitialized =)
- paypalcust83 6y agoSorry, nope. Do your own research using open sources, i.e., forums, review sites, and reviews, before you buy. Caveat emptor.
